I was sitting,  being miserable, when I heard that opening door

I looked up and in that moment my life changed forevermore

She was not the prettiest, but the fire shining in those eyes,

was holding me enraptured, which I just could not disguise.

She came across, and looking down, said Hi, are you my blind date?

I had to that, no so say I wasn’t, but in a very strange quirk of fate

Her mobile rang, and her face fell, when the text message was read

On impulse I said, bad news?  Could I not be your blind date instead?

Smiling she sat, and I got her a drink, and in the blinking of an eye

We were chatting like we’d been friends forever, no proper reason why

as if  lovers in earlier lives, we seemed to suit one another so well

time flew by, and we knew  instinctively that we had begun to gel

twenty years on, and that flash is still there, when I look into those eyes

an intimate knowledge of my soul, she makes no attempt to disguise

We fit together like hand in glove, and have done from the first

Knowing in that moment of recognition, a heart just fit to burst

Many would wish to explain it, to understand the message in that spark

It really is quite simple, you must to your primal instincts hark

For they convey, in that moment, the most important event of your life

The meeting of minds, finding the woman who will become your wife

It happens in the blink of an eye, as souls, through glances meet

Answer the call, when it comes your way, and your life will be complete.
