From roaming from one church to another

I met you

Was looking for a perfect church

You were always seated somewhere in the middle there

Hardly greeting anyone after service

You only looked at me

And I returned your look

No one said anything to the other

Until the day pastor organized a seminar for singles

We happened to be sitting next to each other

That was how I knew your name

And that was how our friendship began

Forgot to take your number when I was leaving town

Now I can hardly remember your name

But I cannot forget your face

    I felt the emotion, the anticipation, and the remorse. Well constructed.

    Nailed it, too, from one introvert to another – I always hated that feeling.

      Thanks, Dave. It is good for people to open up to others. It does so much good.

    And now each day searching amongst the faces of strangers
    That one day might recognise a familiar face….

      I like the prophetic tone of your comment. 😅

      Poetic and prophetic.
