Hey Bill
There is a little extra specialness about her
She had caught my interest at breakfast
Her pretty curly auburn hair like my mother’s.
None of the feelings I have say mom though.
She gave me a quick glance and I saw blue eyes.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, I thought.
A sucker for blue eyes, I wanted to think this through.
“Hi!” she said.
So much for thinking. My heartbeats quickened.
I pointed to myself and shrugged my shoulders.
She laughed; it was a magical, faerie tinkle.
I watched her jump up and walk to the water’s edge.
No harm in watching I told my body as it twisted around.
Wanting to see more, eager and excited.
She came back wet and cute. Damn! I was a goner.
Some guy yelled at her. She waved and yelled “Here!”
She was taken. Another damn. A silent disappointed damn.
“This is Adam,” she said to me “And you are?”
I nodded at the TV star handsome guy, hating him instantly.
“I am Bill,” I said. Sad that this was over before it began.
“I am trying to figure out how to get Bill to invite me to lunch” she said.
Adam rolled his eyes; they were identical to her eyes.
“Why can’t you let him think about it?” He asked.
“My twin is so impatient,” he told me.
