She met him on a bridge.
I do believe we love at first sight,
Since we “see” the person within the first 30 seconds,
But that is beside the point—
I think that they were pondering on diving,
Not knowing whether the water was cold.
I’d like to believe
That they saved one another
On that bridge,
Bringing my ancestors together,
In a loving embrace,
Or, even, a kiss, too.
Or just a hand
Leading them
Off from the edge of a bridge
And in-love.
