Nice To Meet You

Our eyes meet across the room. I know you want to say hello. We both wait with intrepidation. Which one of us will make the first move? You turn your attentions back to friends. I keep looking at the art on the wall. You smile the smile of a man in charge. I slink forward to the punch bowl. You decide to make the first move. With a hand stretched out you say hello. I greet you back with a smile of my own. You seem to be intrigued wanting more. Conversation buzzing around us. Talking heads seem to blur We are the only ones here and now. A connection that is warm and true. Excuse me I didn't catch the name. I repeat it with a breathy sigh. Your voice sounds deep with delight. Our duologue continues into the night.
