On the Beach


He forgive her intrusion into his life…

She had no agenda to be his girlfriend or wife..

Just a handsome man that drew her eye..

A crazy notion she thought she would try…

Maybe share a drink and chat a while..

Swap some interests and a smile…

 

Pleasantly surprised to find..

That he had a facinating mind…

A man who knew the art of talking…

Who shared her passion for walking…

On his soapbox sharing his notions..

A funny guy.. full of deep emotions..

 

On the beach she listened to his words…

Subjects broached and rarely heard…

His voice warm. so animated and kind…

Ideas flickered through her mind..

Of wanting to know so much more…

Standing there on the sandy shore..

 

Watching his mouth as he talked…

Looking into dark eyes as they walked..

Comfortable as if knowing him for years…

Able to be herself without fears…

Feeling happy she had dared to phone…

Not realising his need to be alone…

 

He forgave her crazy little whim…

That led that day to her phoning him…

They started once more from scratch…

As good friends…no romantic catch…

Romance often drowned quickly in tears…

Friendship can make you smile for years…
