First Date

Meet at the Coffee Shop,
Read the text
I couldn’t make my heart stop!
What would come next?
Arriving first on that warm winter day
Impossible to keep the nerves at bay

When you turned the corner
And came into view
Right then and there, I just knew
My days of being a loner
Were bound for the rearview

Hours and hours we talked
Miles and miles we walked
A quick meet and greet
Transitioned into:
Want to get something to eat?

Wide-eyed smiles
That would rival the distance of the Nile
Shared laughter
From personal stories and banter
Sampling each other’s food
Sunsetting kind of mood

We ended up at your place
The night didn’t go to waste
Driving home In bliss
I endlessly reminisced
about that goodnight kiss

You entered my atmosphere
So happy, I could burst into tears
Twelve hours ago I had no clue
But right then and there, I just knew
As sure as the rise of the sun
This was going to be the one
