How We Met

Sitting on the railings nonchalantly 
My eyes caught a glimpse of you 
Under the waning moon
When the cock was yet to crow 

I put on my overall coat 
Grabbed my helmet and axe 
And advanced into the mine to mine 
For I was keen on making you mine 

She asked "But why a mine?"
A smile spread across my face 
And she looked intently into my eyes 
As I said "Because your heart's gold".

I wrote something similar to this called "Why" but no where as good as yours. It's just good to know someone else views the world as I do.
