He made me feel like a 1990’s love song
When I first saw him
This is a lot for a woman who always expects
The worst because then I’ll never be disappointed
He was like the freshest breath I could ever inhale
So that second look became a four hour conversation over breakfast
Our second date developed into a
Heartfelt conversation about my dream (poetry) and his gift (his daughter)
Somehow we couldn’t bear to separate
When we did I found that I couldn’t wait to see him again
In that second look
I discovered that my future couldn’t
Be found in fortune cookies or my grandmother’s dreams but
That I could possibly find it with him
