both single, both going to a formal party alone for the first time<\/p>\n
we find ourselves assigned to sit at the same table<\/p>\n
no coincidence, this was deviously planned by the hosts<\/p>\n
we sit next to each other, make introductions<\/p>\n
I secretly observe him, I know he’s doing the same<\/p>\n
handsome, polite, but looks younger than me.<\/p>\n
music is playing, dance floor is coming alive<\/p>\n
I, who measure dancing with a couple’s compatibility<\/p>\n
take a chance and ask him if he can do the Lindy<\/p>\n
feeling quite satisfied with his answer<\/p>\n
I watch his blue eyes ask me to dance<\/p>\n
and there on the dance floor I knew he was my future<\/p>\n
end of the evening,he walked me to my car<\/p>\n
I kissed him right on the lips<\/p>\n
while I surprised and shocked him<\/p>\n
he sheepishly smiled at me with those blue eyes<\/p>\n
on our many dates after that first night<\/p>\n
we shared our souls<\/p>\n
slowly I started to fall in love with him<\/p>\n
I felt secure in his love for me<\/p>\n
he became my lover, my partner, my friend<\/p>\n
years later, we decided to formally join our families<\/p>\n
adding more children and grandchildren to each of our lives.<\/p>\n
his blue eyes led me to stand with him under the chuppah<\/p>\n
we exchanged our vows<\/p>\n
to love, respect and be faithful to each other.<\/p>\n
looking back on our twentieth anniversary<\/p>\n
I look forward to twenty more!<\/p>\n
