I know I caught you off guard
when I stepped into your cafe
that sunny afternoon
on Rue Mouffetard
you were busy helping people
with hunger on their mind
and no plan for interruption
but I could tell by the surprise on your face
when your eyes realised they knew mine
and your smile wore that melt me gaze
that I had not been forgotten

You told me later
while walking along the Seine
that my smile had kept you normal
for a whole year
and somewhere between the
I don't know why
and I don't know how
it made sense...

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

And it is a smile that can light up the pages of PiP too. I love this one, RDB. There is so much love in your poetry.

How wonderful to be remembered everyday for a year, even if not, what a lovely thing to say. Very much enjoyed this Roniece, a lovely write my friend.

Lovely poem. Being remembered fondly is wonderful (especially when the other person means much to us). I enjoyed reading your poem. the only line I had trouble with was the one about the 'melt me gaze'. I could imagine a smile that could 'melt' and a gaze that could 'melt' but the order in the line gave me a little trouble.
