The window of a first date

In that vintage coffee house,

We met on a first date

You sit across from me,

Smiling and sipping your coffee,

But I can see the sadness in your eyes,

The unspoken pain that you try to hide,

The fear of infidelity and betrayal.

We sit in silence,

Listening to the music on speaker.

Nervously fidgeting with the napkin,

Wondering if this is a mistake,

But then you reach across the table,

Taking my hand in yours.

I couldn't help but giggle

And my heart was so sensitive

At the coziness of affinity,

And I know that we'll be all right.

It was like a roller coaster

One moment beautiful

And the next filled with fear

But I was comforted by your presence

And the rain outside the window

Painted a beautiful blue hue.
