I wait for the tram
Watching the threatening clouds
Raincoat in my case
Then swipe my ticket
Find a seat by the window
Stare at the grey sky
She got on stop nine
Tall, dark, hair was all frizzy
Classic high cheeked face
She looked at no-one
But she knew I looked at her
I read the paper
Then the sky darkened
As I read her beautiful eyes
And her turned up nose
We reached the city
The rain poured down in torrents
At Town Hall she rose
Then I caught her eyes
And gave her my newspaper
She took it grinning
Smiling in the rain
With that paper on head and
Unfinished crossword
From that day onward
We would both sit together
The crossword not done

What a sweet love story. I wish I had had your pointers about flirting when I was young. I never knew how. LOL.
ReplyDeleteRobin, I just saw your note about your health. Rest well, my friend, heal and recover. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry, I agree flirting was difficult for most of us lest we be laughed at. Being older you don't mind the laughs. Still going to rehab Gym and Pool to help but have to admit I am old now!
DeleteNicely done with a smile and a newspaper��
ReplyDeleteWhat a superb narrative I'm glad there was a happy ending to the rainy day
ReplyDeleteSuch a heartwarming love story, Robin!❤️
ReplyDeleteThe undone crossword is a story in itself!
ReplyDeleteThe newspaper and crossword left undone express your happiness.
ReplyDeletePlease take care of yourself.
First meetings root the deepest...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope you are resting and taking care of yourself. ❤️
DeleteI love how you describe reading her face and later add the crossword unfinished.
ReplyDeleteHope recovery comes soon.
Best wishes
Anna :o]
Love this story. Sweet :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are well Robin. Take care.
