A smile from a perfect stranger.
Eyes meet and connect without any time to wager.
Not a single word spoken, met by a hug,
an embrace tender, more than a touch.
Longing to know more about this new person. Taking a
moment to reflect and wrap my head around it.
My mind rushes like tides on a beach,
this new friendship warms me like summer's heat.
Finding magic in eyes that speak more than words ever could.
I knew in that moment this friendship was true.
I glimpse back and I smile, share and care without fear.
I open my heart to welcome anew,
a friendship, I hope to see blossom and bloom.
