It Only Took An Instant





It only took a moment
When I saw you from across the room,
Standing there talking with the bride And groom.
Though we had met some  years ago at a gathering,
Little did we know we would be part of Barb and Dan's wedding.
I smile and nodded as I casually walk toward the food trays,
What happened next, well that it’s hard To say.
He smiled and gently took my hand  I’m not  sure you remember I’m Dan’s
Friend  Johnny,
And in that instant I knew together we were destined to be.
