Within the hospital's walls so stark and green,
A chance encounter changed my life's course
A graceful presence, a beauty shining bright,
My heart stirred with the possibility, a guiding light.

I asked for her number, met with a gentle plea,
Workplace boundaries, a reason to let be,
At two o'clock, a chance for our hearts to see,
What lies beneath the surface, a possibility.

A mention of reluctance in our brief chat,
She claimed not to seek love, but how about that?
Perhaps in her silence, there's a welcome mat,
To explore the nuances, where hearts are at.

With hopeful steps, I'll return in time,
To read between the lines in this silent rhyme,
Unraveling secrets, hidden beneath the grime,
In the subtle dance of fate, so sublime.
