The Meeting

The first time we met we were in the
hallway and you bumped into my trying to pass.

The nest time was in the lunch line and you
dumped your lunch in my lap because you tripped.

The third time was at our lockers,
for we were right next to each other.

The time at our lockers was when I
lost my heart and it floated your way.

That is a day I’ll never forget
because that’s the day I let my heart slip.

We glanced at each other all day through,
shyly and slowly at first.

Then at last you smiled my way
and brightened my entire day.

On that very same day
you also gave me your heart.
