How We Met

We met across a luncheon table
you and your "afro" hair,
your "clogging" shoes,
that beaver grin,
145 lbs heavier,
eyes only for my best friend

I was giggling
my heart was pounding
Its not everyday you meet your destiny
I KNEW you were to be my best friend,
an important member of my life
(Didn't know we'd marry though
and have two beautiful children)

I laughed,
thinking of telling you
what I thought
what I KNEW

you inquired
how could I say it?
I didn't
I just showed it
oh so subtlety
