[Intro]
Dust motes drift in the sunlit stacks.
[Verse 1]
In the quiet stacks I penned a hopeful vow,
A shy librarian with a tremble in my brow.
For a visiting author, words in bloom,
But a clever cat swiped the note with a zoom.
Whiskers on ink, the page slips away,
Heading to the town’s bulletin board today.
[Chorus]
Meow-sive mistake!
The cat posts my confession in the window light.
I chase the paw prints through the library glow,
To save my heart before the town gets to know.
[Verse 2]
I trail the thief through aisles of old romances,
Past ladders and lamps, through rain on the panes.
The cat purrs atop a corkboard throne,
Posting my blush for the town to know.
I bargain with a treat, I plead for return,
To swap back my words and let the lesson burn.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I can snag the note before the crowd awakes,
I’ll mend the missing lines and end the ache.
[Chorus]
Meow-sive mistake!
The cat posts my confession in the window light.
I chase the paw prints through the library glow,
To save my heart before the town gets to know.
[Bridge]
Moonlight on corkboard, whiskers in the steam,
The shelves forgive a lot, or so it would seem.
Sometimes a misstep leads to a kinder view,
Love finds its way when shy hearts push through.
[Chorus]
Meow-sive mistake!
The cat posts my confession in the window light.
I chase the paw prints through the library glow,
To save my heart before the town gets to know.
[Outro]
The poem is rescued, the author’s smile returns,
The cat bows softly; the quiet librarian learns.
