This is How We Met

It was a November ago
gray skies, dead leaves swirling
around my feet I was waiting to cross the street
stomping my feet to warm them
wishing I had worn a scarf or even
a sensible coat instead of a cherry red sweater.
You were waiting too and we locked eyes
you said ooh, gotta love a lady in red
and I smiled at you, skeptically though
long hair, dark eyes, leather jacket
you screamed dysfunction
and when you followed me into Borders
I wondered if you had stalkerish tendencies
but we stalked each other.
I was always aware of where you were
you watched me too
I sat down in the cafe to wait
because I knew you would come to me
and you did, with your Michael Moore book
in a paper bag,
I knew within minutes I would love you.
You looked at my Dirty Girl postcards and
knew you would love me too,
and when I walked out of the store that day
you had my number
and I waited on the edge of my seat
an entire hour before you called and I said
what took you so long?
and you knew that I didn't mean 60 minutes
but the lifetime that passed
before we met.
