Down the Hill

Taking our time
Flowing, going, stepping smoothly down
Conversing with her from out of town

Walking, floating, introducing ourselves
So pleasant was the talk, I postponed my run
Eucalyptus lowered branches to hear our fun

Slowly, time fleeting moving closer towards her
There was pain in her eyes, I could only smile
I had been there, from which I walked awhile

It was so nice to meet, my heart fluttered
I wished her luck, “fue un placer,” she replied
Off I go, telling myself at least try 

Jogging my thoughts stood on that chance encounter

Hoping, thinking that I would look for her again
That by any luck, love let me not relent 
For Teresa and her Cuban Accent
