Something Special
A wave across a smoky bar
That was my impulsive bid
I thought, “Damn, that was stupid”
You frowned like I was bizzare
“Too late, go with it!” I did.
The wave I had to do
To get your attention
I was pretty much through
Because my mind mentioned
Love once I saw you
We chatted for awhile
I got your digits
We went on a date, not too late
You weren’t getting away
Without some kisses
Smooched in the hall of your dorm
I wouldn’t let you go
Kept pulling you back for more
Then YOU pulled, kissing hard!
You smirked and said, “Go home!”
That’s when my mind was blown
Our friends’ mockery
For how we snuck off a lot
To make up vigorously
After we fought a lot
But to say that was all we had
Would mean a lot forgot
Smart and tough as nails
I used to just listen to you talk
Throaty voice, cuteness edged it
Goofy jokes that never mocked
And a way of spinning tales
Lustrous hair that was my all
Dark, but highlight limned
Dusky skin and expressive faces
Athletic, strong, fit and slim
But full in my favorite places
Petite as hell but ten feet tall
The worst liar I’ve ever seen
I always knew what you’d mean
When you tried to be duplicitous
It came off as just ridiculous
Your heart always on your sleeve
Because of sweet honesty
Your eyes are the only I know
That actually DO flash when angry
I thought that was in stories!
I would sometimes act a little low
To see their strobing glories
Strolls through the city
With you on my arm at night
Your tough-girl accent just right
Always gorgeous never pretty
And making things bright
Broadway show and culture
Trying to fix your boy so poor
Always generous, loving
Faithful, protective and more
Kind than I’d deserve
Our inside jokes and moments
Like your gigantic grin
When I rubbed your little "feets"
Sighing ultimate pleasure
I'd pay to see those smiles again
And hear those little treats
And I’d hug around your tummy
On the couch for a spell
Resting my head on you
Feeling warm and sunny
Watching your eyes melt
And yeah, off we would sneak
Whether we fought or not
And I would get a peek
At the face of God
Because I’ve never reached
That with anyone since
I tried to be your prince
But we were very different
And young harsh words
Causing us to wince
At what each other meant
But when I think of those days
From decades ago
Those fights are no
Matter to how the rays
Of your sun still play
Inside my heart and soul
It was not always sad
And I am still glad
Before love was through with us
When it was just the two of us
It’s something special we had
