Walking through a busy hall

A packed building full of souls

Yet somehow, I managed

To bump shoulders with you.

Your green eyes and hidden face

Held my gaze in a strong fist.

Something about the way

You looked at me so warmly.

Made me feel like maybe

Even I could fly.

We exchanged information,

And set up a date.

I met your cat,

She loved when I scratched her face.

We spent a year together.

We went to concerts,

Dinner dates, and Tea.

I had spent way too much money.

Next, I knew it had been two years.

Things got a bit rocky.

But you never gave up.

We never gave up.

Now, here we are.

It’s been nine years.

We have an apartment,

And our kids have paws.

Our dishware is matching,

And there are two sets of shoes.

All because of

my shoulder and yours

bumping against each other

Walking through a busy hall.
