Do you remember the leaves of our meeting?
The newspaper add you ran…?
I answered and…
You noticed my white gloves and
that hunger for travel
"Turn around" you said…
blushing, but
knowing you said that to everyone…

Years later...

A fragrance of familiar

I had forgotten…

we met again…

I thought

You were one of those moments that sembled
A pale colored moon lit night
Like a forest breathing thoroughly cautious quiet
Just you n me
In a right foot gently raised brow
Fire, your flush of after dinner cordials
I had forgotten all those birds in the trees

We giggled in our travels of ocean seas
A network of great little details
Surmising a long road of prosperity
An investment of sorts
In possession of this light of experience

Oh, but the bridge was way to far…
come fall
We were like ill-governed youths
Eyes dancing nervously in wrong colored shoes
However, it was real to me
Now….
Time has been a good long friend
And you are pleasantly pleased with yourself
You had so many roses...
and I
I'd like to believe I've grown

"Just you n me

somehow I know just what that means

I enjoyed reading.

Age must be creeping up - I nearly missed this.  Good to see you haven't lost your magic touch. Yes, we "grow", don't we, but sometimes I long for that time before growth.  Life was much simpler then.

Yes indeedy, you've grown! ~ and in so many ways! ~ as a woman, as a poet, and in wisdom! However, that young woman still comes sparkling through!

I enjoyed your nostalgic trip down memory lane. It was lovely ~ as are you, my dear friend.
