Eyes catch in a chance glance about the room
And suddenly the heart beats faster
In two previously separate individuals
As one begins to concoct an introduction
The other focuses on the possibility of life-long love
Both leave the safety of their circle of friends
To get some air, stretch their legs, say, “hello,”
To a friend, intending someone they’ve never met
Before their hearts beat right out of their chests
Perhaps a little ringing in the ears, a little sweat,
This feeling of butterflies in the stomach
An awkwardness not common to either one
As fate would have it, they meet in the crowd
She blushes, he trips, they fall together
To catch each other and begin a love
That no one can separate, no one can stop
Then conversation and acquaintance
A smile so sweet that honeybees are jealous
A hand held so supportively from the start
And cementing it together a kiss no other can compare.
