She was
sunshine hiding
behind the clouds
patient,
willing and waiting.

He was
sunshine
on the beach
gracing the sand,
steady and warm.

She was reluctant
struck by her love
and afraid to say it.

He was reluctant
hurt by past love
and afraid to jump in.

She was wet eyes
and open ears
fragile but resilient.

He was a strong face
and a scarred mind
strong but misunderstood.

She was green eyes
iridescent in the daytime
twinkling in the night.

He was green eyes
hiding in the daytime
opening in the night.

She was deep, endless
ready for anything
expecting nothing.

He was reserved,
hurt and unsure
expecting nothing.

We met by chance
and I'm still
trying to figure out
what we are.
