Cuddling closely in our senior years,
still loving one another the way we did
the first day we met.
Remembering your eyes holding a twinkle
for me in the light.
It beckoned my heart to step out with
you on a date.
We got together and made a day and time
then parted.
When the time came, you were at my door
at the appointed time, knocking.
Opening it, I was surprised to see you
standing there and asked you what you
were doing there.
Stumbling over words, you finally blurted,
we have a date tonight.
Oh no, I totally forgot, I said and apologized.
Wanting to know if I still wanted to go out
with you, I said, yes, went and got ready.
We went to see the fireworks at the school
grounds, then went dancing at the Homestead
the next evening.
Melding hearts, we journeyed together and
had a good time, wanting to be together
quite a lot after that first date.
