Your streaked chestnut hair
moved in grace and calm.
You were ready to embrace
the world with solid arms.
Your eyes glistened with gold
and stole a glimpse to touch mine.
I only realize now
that you are a rare gem to find.
Your smile followed me,
and I couldn’t help but smile back.
There was no doubt in being open;
all we had to do was ask.
What we saw in each other
could not be replaced.
We mirrored what was there
and stood face-to-face.
The vibrancy of tempered fun
ebbed with the books.
I trembled as you trembled
when we stole each other looks.
A shy demeanor continued
to veil my curious heart.
What was mine, what was yours,
I sometimes couldn’t set apart.
When we sat in silence,
the world stood still.
It felt comfortable, yet scary,
and sent a warm chill.
