That Boyish Grin

That Boyish Grin.

I received a message from this guy
Quite handsome and debonair,
He said he liked my picture
He found it quite exceptionally fair.

Surprise of course consumed me
My “Fair Days” quite gone by
And my age a little bit  older
As I told him feeling quite shy

He said, “Age is just a number,
Not to be confused with the heart
It finds its own way to the soul
Where it nestles to never depart

Well, we started a conversation
Talking carefully to each other
And we had a lot in common
I found him more than a potential lover

From all I gathered from things he said
I found him sensitive and kind.
There aren’t many like him in the world
And I would be honored if he were ….mine.

I do not know his heart
But it is something I hope to win
And I look forward to the day
When I can  see his boyish grin
