“Wow, you’re beautiful” and I turned to see
A pair of blue eyes looking right at me
Brilliant shades of the ocean’s dark depths
Locked me in and captured my breath
The strength in his voice weakened my own
“Thank you,” I mumbled in an unfamiliar tone
Words struggled as my pulse raced
But, there was something easy in his smiling face
Touching my back, he offered to pay
Igniting a flame that would make its way
From the cup of coffee he placed in my hand
To the shivers that made my chest expand
Rising and falling, remembering to breathe
Meeting new pleasure as my insides wreathed
My name on his tongue tasted so sweet
He put his hand in mine as we crossed the street
He held my eyes and I found my voice
Our chatter sang surely as heaven rejoiced
Pouring rain turned our walk to a run
Seeking shelter, we found the sun
The storm passed quickly and the night set in
A longing burned from deep within
“You are trembling, are you very cold?”
“No,” I whispered but my heart told
What he heard as my lips met his
My soul found rest in its last first kiss
Eternity knew in those eyes so blue
A divine love was coming true

He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.
