Overnight Flight

You see, there were once these two people,
who were separated by a Lone Star and a bunch of casinos.
God knows how many countless miles of highways,
kept them from seeing each other.

It was going to be fantastic,
she was going to surprise him!
She knew he'd never see it coming,
that he'd probably fall over in shock.

She made the plans in secret
and stowed away on a midnight plane.
Only a few more hours,
And with each she was closer to her dear.

She walked down the first floor hall,
to Room 106, and opened the door.
No one was there, but as disappointment settled,
the phone began to rang.

Do I even need to finish this poem?
"I'm standing outside your apartment", he said.
"You're roommate said you went to see me", and they laughed.
They were still thousands of miles away, but felt closer than ever.
