Unexpected

Like something out of a storybook,
he came to me,
running through the musty fog.

I did not have time to prepare,
brush my hair,
or ready my eyes.

I had no hope that I would find
someone quite like him,
but I fell fast and down I went.

An electric shock, surging through my system,
he startled me,
brought me to life.

Crossed my fingers, but never hoped to die.
embraced the smile,
and hugged the laugh.

Looked up at him, through the clouds
allowed myself to love,
and to dance right along with him.
