When I first met you,
I thought you average, ordinary..
dull.
I only went home with you
from lack of anything better to do.

When I entered you room,
it was just as dull and boring,
as what I thought of you.
That is until..
I saw the red and black guitar standing,
defiantly,
against the wall.

Do you remember how I begged you to play?
and you relented.

I watched you pick up that guitar,
and you handled it like a living being.
As you began to play,
long fingers moving..
first slowly...
then faster over glistening strings.

You changed.

Fire came into your eyes,
they began to glaze over
and you were in another world.
Every note seemed to seep from somewhere
deep within you,
Like this was all you had been born to do.

I was enthralled.

And I had fallen for you in that instant.

Later that night,
as I was walking out the door..
a smile came to my lips,
as I glanced back and saw,
the red and black guitar..
leaning defiantly against the wall.
