You looked to the side and smiled,
A smile from a place of recognition
Of shared roots

Smitten is what I am by you
Your eyes
have a smile in them I need to know

But really it’s your hands ,
Warm in the way they handed me a phone
Self conscious in the way they pat your head

There is a calmness and gentle peace
And I wonder
Will you be the one

To calm the storm of my brain,
Too early to tell,
It really was enchanting to meet you
