Navy Turtleneck

He wore a navy turtleneck
And man, he looked so cute,
An observation, I believe,
Nobody would dispute.

I can’t recall my outfit - 
Don’t know if it factored in - 
But on that night, our lives together
Somehow did begin.

Today we both remember
How our smiles were set aglow
On that February seventh
Forty-three short years ago.

Just like me and JOe, about 43 years ago but I can't recall what he wore. He just had the cutest face and bangs above his eyes!!
