I did extend into the world a gesture,
a picture into my world.
An attempt to meet what the world would send me.
For nothing was I looking.
For nothing was I hoping.
You could sat it was an attempt to spice up-
an otherwise dull existence.
People did I meet.
People did I greet.
All wanting more than what I was looking for.
A friend did I seek.
A friend to share with.
A friend I got.
An exquisite friend who wanted-
what I wanted “a friend”.
On and on we talked.
Into my life, he did walk.
On and on we still talk.
A wonderful friend I did get.
Friends at first, we did make.
Now in love we partake.
The love of my life,
I met like this.
Making a dull existence bliss.
