In the middle of the storm
She asked me
“What is it you liked about him?”
And I thought back
To all the times
Our eyes met across rooms
“His kindness, his humor…”
Her voice tender as she asked
“Do you think no one else is kind like him?
Has humor like his?
Do you think he is the only one
Who will make your heart
Shake?”
And I realized then
In the middle of
A conversation
How life goes on,
If we let it.
