I wasn't thinking of much Just zeroing on anything but the foreign whistling in my ear. I had scouted for a potentially enticing attraction That, while available, was both empty and deceitful I remember now the lesson: Past Conjugates. So I conjured my accent and answered correctly. The door opens, and at first I paid no mind But then I was stirred from my consuming thoughts. I was chosen as a partner. I did not know why, but Then my gaze shifted outward And I came eye to eye with you I stood aghast at the warm greeting Enveloping what had been a miserable day. You sat down next to me And there we talked. Flirts I had only dreamed of leapt out of my mouth And into your elegant ears The only thing more surprising than my bold approach Was the satisfaction in your relieving reciprocation
