Getting
To Know You
He
sees she in the same moment she sees he
Careful glances pass from
one to the other, and back again
It seems as if all has stopped,
time itself now stands still
Many souls pass their way, unseen by
either on the cobbled street
An alluring soft smile spreads
across rose pink lips
Growing gently, warmly, wonderingly,
hopefully his returns hers
Eye meets eye, sigh joins sigh, two
hearts skip on the same beat
As if one, both their heads nod, an
unspoken bond swiftly forms
They step in unison without words
spoken towards each other
His arm is happily offered but she
chooses the intimacy of his hand
One word leads to another and
soon a torrent of laughter erupts
Taking time to stop and stare
and just drink each other in
Making time to sit at what will
soon and will always be their spot
A finger reaches out to gently
brush her cheek
In turn her delicate nail traces along his ear
Longing lips can no longer wait, they meet in what will not be
their only kiss
