it was an accident no one could have planned
she stumbled over him in a crowded room
literally falling into his lap
they were complete strangers
but he didn’t make her get up
so she sat there
head resting on an unknown shoulder
melting into foreign arms
she should have been frightened
he should have been alarmed
but an odd peace had settled over them
a quiet contentment
they could have sat there for ages
oblivious to the rest of the world
his face buried in the dark waves of her hair
while she idly wondered what he looked like
but they were parted abruptly
she felt tremendous sorrow
as though some secret part of her had died
fearing she’d never see him again
yet there he stood in the doorway
as she played with a borrowed baby
his golden hair ablaze against the setting sun
it was hard finding you, darling
but what was i to ask?
do you know the girl who steals
men’s hearts upon falling into their arms?
that would have never done
but here you are
and though she didn’t know his name
she knew she belonged to him
as they held hands in the twilight
memorizing each other’s eyes
