-So I Played it Cool-

The eyes got me first
long eyelashes playfully placed along those bright blue eyes.
The first time they met mine, I knew I wanted her.
She seemed to stare right at me, in me.
Mystery sparkled behind them and a certain aloofness imatied as well.
How could I learn how to do that?
It was all natural though, she was born with those eyes.
Those eyes that catch you first, then leave you wanting more
The carefree smile that could put you at ease
And that genuine laughter which made anyone smile.

I knew, I had to play it cool.

I already knew I wanted this beauty behind the lemon chill cart.
Then I saw her body.
Like a naughty school girl in her uniform,
Dressed in A ******* polo tank and those oh so small black shorts.
She walked as if she had no idea what we were thinking
Leaving little to the imagination, yet somehow she seemed not to notice..

So, I played it cool.

I let the moment show itself.
“Alix, Dan: you guys at beer cart eight together”
Knots of excitement, pulsing through my stomach.
The feeling when you win big in Vegas.
I wouldn’t blow it though.

So, I played it cool.

“Hey, I’m Danielle, you’re Matt’s girlfriend, right?”
I silently thank Matt for giving me that foot in the door
“Yea, I’m Alix, isn’t it crazy we are both dating cross country runners?”
Find common ground.  I found common gold

For me it was love at first sight, or at least the closest I’ve ever been to it.
Other girls have wowed me, sure, but I will never forget my first… My strongest.
I will never forget the first time we matched eyes together and exchanged a few words.
The first time I saw beauty exuding from the inside, not just a look, but a genuine glow.
I don’t remember what was said …
All I remember were those long eyelashes playfully placed around those bright blue eyes..

So, I played it cool,
I hoped for the best

Good things really do come in small packages
Because now I have something more than those eyes
I have what’s behind them
I have a sister
