Matched

By the day that had to be the day
The clouds began to scurry away
Light seated itself in every dark corner
Halted upon a lonely wanderer.

Two pairs of eyes looked at each other
Turned away, then glanced together
One of two hearts began to flutter
Second one though could have done better.

Then two faces gleamed in the sun
Shy smiles stood in lines to run
Self-conscious route they took
Stopped for lunch, playing by the book.

All to win and nothing to lose
One tongue did hurriedly cruise
In spite of attempts desperate to catch up
The second one just couldn’t match up.

One had fun, needless to say
The other’s heart had been stolen away
What was to happen who knew
A story was set aside to brew.

What put in doubt was a pause
Waiting a while for a cause
Patience drew a fair reward
“connecting” wasn’t that hard.

Gone are the days of papered letters
Technology has ushered in digital letters
“balance” squandered, fingers swollen
no more passing time through “bowling”.

Heartbeats synchronized with ring tones
Tingling nerves to butter bones
Word exchange etched a bond
Egging to go, to carry on.

A day special, nothing went wrong
It was then that feelings became strong
Expressed, one did with confidence
Second affirmative, no repentance.

The rest they say is history
Even though not always hunky-dory
A flame once burnt cannot die
Hope on for, a never good-bye.

Of hearts that matched n footsteps too
Embark upon a journey new
Fresh emotions were hatched
As two bodies, two souls, had been matched.
