Meeting You

[for Erin]

You saw me there
(I saw you too
 but I never dreamed
 you'd noticed me)
Your eyes were bright
Like sky-rimmed stars
(And my heart skipped --
 a beat or two)
You sat down, nonchalant
(Upon my favourite chair
 across the way)
And caught my eye
A'purpose once or twice
(But still I was afraid
 to stare)
And later on
My friend's friend came
(Asking, in your name)
Whose was I,
(if aught)
And sure was I surprised
You'd noticed me
(I saw you too
 but I never dreamed
 you saw me there)
