By Chance a Glance, While Christmas Shopping
I saw her
We were crossing in opposite directions
Then ironically
We happened to end up at the same cafe
What do you say?
When you have forgotten her name
How to begin?
Time has flown by
Since we last met
Oh well, here I go
Walking across the cafe
Towards her table
She catches sight of me
Her eyes happy in acknowledgment
“Hello Janine”
Yes! I remembered that smile
We gleefully grinned
And chatted as good friends do
Neither of us could recall
How many years it was
But no matter
We continued our jovial banter
