So Special

Remember how you felt the very first time
     your eyes met, then your heart leaped into your throat

   Remember how the bottoms of your feet tingled with glee
     and as the plot thickened, your breath quickened

   Remember how you struggled for what to say
     fearful this perfect person might just get away

   So special now that he's courting you ~
     'cos he's eighty-one and you're eighty-two  



   This is about a couple I've been observing for 
    a month or so now. (Parents of two friends
    of mine.  It's SO cute!)

This makes me think of my grandpa, after my grandma died, he was alone for about a decade, then when he was about 85, he had a 'ladyfriend' - we all thought it was adorable!
