How did I know it was you?
The first time I laid my eyes on you, I knew .
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon .. The birds were chirping and there was a slight breeze. I was walking outside from an Italian restaurant after having met my girls for a day of shopping for shoes. We decided to have lunch and then head out separate ways.
As I was walking to my car, I saw you . Lord you were so fine.
Tall , caramel skin & an incredibly attractive smile . I knew this because you were flashing your pearly white teeth and dashing dimples as you were walking and talking on your cell phone . I watched you walk up to the car next to mine.
When I saw you I must've stopped dead in my tracks .. Because there was a car beeping it's horn behind me . It was waiting for me to cross the street towards the parking lot and I hadn't noticed . Everyone walking by noticed, including you. must've looked like a complete fool.
I hurried to my car and as I was nearing the trunk, to put my bags inside you said
"Excuse me, ma'am ."
I looked over to you , I wanted to make sure you weren't still on the phone ..
But you weren't , you were looking directly at me .
"Yes?" I responded . I wanted to play it cool , didn't want you to know that I was bursting with excitement internally.
"Does this belong to you?"
In your hand , was a bag with my left overs inside . When I was rushing to get to my car ,it must've slipped out of my hands . My hands were filled with bags of shoes , so I wouldn't even have noticed .
"Yes , I didn't even realize I had dropped them , thank you !"
You smiled at me , and offered to help me put away my bags .
I agreed to let you help me.
We had little conversation before you asked if I was seeing anyone .
The redness that flashed in my cheeks let you know that I wasn't .
It doesn't sound like a fairytale , but it played out like one in my mind..
Even now sometimes at , when it's late and you are asleep .. I look over at you sleeping so peacefully and ask myself , how did I know it was you ? .
