Meet me in the park
Where fallen leaves
Reflect golden shades
Of autumn hue
Meet me in the park
Lift me off my feet
Where waters flow
Silently by
Meet me in the park
Where I shall await
Your strong embrace
Kiss my breath away
Meet me in the park
We sat at a table and sipped coffee
We sat at a table just you and me
You looked into my eyes and saw my cue
I looked into your eyes and saw your blue
You reached your hand across the void
I reached my hand, I was overjoyed
What happened next is hard to say
What happened next is history
You looked over
Lingering just a few moments
Too long
Your eyes
Meeting
Catching
Playing
Imagining
I cannot read your mind
But your eyes
Speak for you
I was in my own world
Comparing apples and bananas
And the yellows of cheese
When I heard a voice
Directed at me
Searching for the source
Your voice
Greeting me
I looked your way as
Your eyes captured mine
You smiled
Unguarded
I smiled too
I turned the corner
As you did the same
And you caught me
Watching you
My face burned red
As my heart skipped
Its rhythmic beat
I could do no more
Than turn away
In that moment of your eyes
Meeting with mine I felt
That leap of joy and
Knew my heart
Would never
Be the
Same
