Life Stories – Written December 2023 (Aged 48)

Life Stories

for a while,
i was lost in our conversation
just as your eyes smiled at me
and a for a second or two –
maybe more –
i was lost in you
and then,
i told you my life story
it was a certain connection
the type that needs no direction
but every word spoken –
felt like a chocolate box selection
and for a while,
i just wanted to cling on
lost as i was,
in the smile of your eyes
conversation between us flowed
time, well it just slowed
and i felt safe with your tide
as i listened,
i saw you glance at me
and i loved every moment –
of sharing our life stories
especially when,
your eyes smiled at me
