THAT FIRST MEETING

Our paths met briefly on a crowded street 
You turned my head and my heart skipped a beat
I followed you into the deserted coffee store 
What I would say to you I wasn't really sure 

Our eyes met and you smiled my way 
Made it easier for me and I knew what to say 
"Let me buy this coffee for you" I said to you 
The conversation then followed just like old friends do

When the coffee was over we did the modern thing 
We exchanged numbers and I promised to ring 
I look back at that first meeting with happiness and glee
Thinking all the time relieved that you don't like tea
