Not That Long Ago

One day
not that long ago
I met a pretty girl
I wished I could get to know.
I found nothing
so special about her
that really caught my eye.
She was an average girl
and I was an average guy.
I spent lots of time with her.
We spent all our Sundays together.
We shared feelings from our hearts
and we shared lovely moments of pleasure.
She was not a princess and I was not a prince
still after a while I found her smile
to be something I couldn't resist.
Although I know a man gets not his every wish
was I surprised when I found she had
the sweetest lips I ever kissed.

Ah James ... no prince or princess titles required ... just a lovely smile to beguile. I enjoyed this.  

Best wishes,

something drew you to her, someday, maybe you will discover what it was

I just thought of a line of a song

"something in the way she moves"

Maybe for you it's "something in the way she moves me"  

enjoyed your poem
