She was a little stick of a thing
More of a twig than a branch.
She had freckles instead of makeup
But man could that girl dance!
She wore a sack of a dress
With simple holes for her arms
But I was immediately captured
By her open-hearted charm.
It was an accidental meeting
And a charming mental greeting
Two strangers seeking seating
That did not end up as fleeting.
I didn’t own a crystal ball
So I could certainly not see
What this little bit of a girl
Would come to mean to me.
She had beautiful eyes
The color of aged whiskey
That could make a guy
Want to do something risky.
A lovely accidental meeting
And a charming mental greeting
Two strangers seeking seating
That did not end up as fleeting.
So I took her with me dancing
As a harmless thing to do
For two people who are strangers
To whom everything is new.
I expected it to be awkward
Could this beauty even dance?
How was I to know that this
Would be the start of romance?
A simple accidental meeting
And a charming mental greeting
Two strangers seeking seating
That did not end up as fleeting.
