my reasons to walk closer to you and not fear the outcome

for it was you, I’ve been searching for.

You looked so relaxed as you seem to have just got off work and just arrived at happy hour.

You were in the middle of taking off your tie and as you started to glance around the bar your glance hit mine and a smile slowly appeared on your face.

As you confidently waved me over to your table, I knew I should be on alert but I felt safe staring into your eyes.

We talked for hours until it was time for the bar to close, we exchanged numbers and said our good night.

I got in my cab and told the driver the directions and as we drove away I watched you disappear until you were out of sight.

That night I knew that I would hear from you and see you again.

That night didn’t just change my life, it changed our lives and the path we ended up on was far better than we could ever imagine.

It was like valentine’s day had come early this year for us and this was just the beginning of something great.

  1. thereluctantpoet – It's Not For Fame And Fortune. That Comes From Being Known. The Reluctant Poet Writes To Give Words A Life Of Their Own. I have always written for the personal joy and satisfaction of bringing something into being. A similar feeling painters must feel when completing a painting. It's the process that mattered to me more than being thought of or known as a Poet. But having moved into the "Senior" check box category in life I have had an inner yearning to let my words have a life of their own apart from me and any reservations or reluctance I may have about "putting myself out there". I have been so blessed since starting to blog to have great Kindred Spirits - Singledust, DavyD, Sailorpoet, saynotoclowns and many, many others to share and enjoy this Wonderful experience. I love so much the warmth, caring and positive support from everyone that comes to visit, comments, follows me and of course "Chit, Chat". I have my Darling, youngest daughter to thank for getting me started in blogging. I had mentioned to her that I was wanting to see if there might be a way to get some exposure for my poems. In a couple of days she emailed me back and said, "You now have a blog - TheReluctantPoetWeb on Wordpress.com You need to start posting! I'm helping you face your fears by pushing you, so you can fly". I might still be in flight training but I'm off the ground! Ha! And to my Dear Friend Sailorpoet - I'm trying my best to become "The Unreluctant Poet". Thank you for coming by and please stop and visit!
