When we first met
You were sitting in the Starbucks
Drinking your coffee
I walked up and you smiled
I smiled back
I had decided that if I didn’t like you
It would just be coffee
If I did, we’d go to dinner
I asked you if you wanted to get dinner
You said yes
We walked two blocks to Arugula
An Italian restaurant in my neighborhood
As we walked it felt like we were covered in magic pixie dust
We sparkled
And other people saw it too
They looked at us
And saw the mark of love
At the restaurant I had veal
You dropped your fork
And told me about your college days
After dinner you walked me back to my building
Again we got lots of looks and stares
They could feel it too
We sat in the lobby of my building
On the couch
I put my hand on your arm
Looked you in the eye
And said, “I like you”
A year and a half later
We were married
I will not forget walking into Starbucks and seeing you
I had on a striped wool sweater
It was St. Patrick’s Day
I saw your face and deep in my heart
I knew
