I sat down on the log,
From a little distance, she glanced at me,
She was flirting with her eyes towards me with her smiles,
Pure connection.
While I sat down on the log,
I saw she told her friends that she wanted to spend time with me,
Because I was about to leave in a half-hour or more,
She came to sit on the log next to me, touching my side.
Our company was great, it was feeling like a sort of magic
That drew me towards her.
I went away from home because I had to go, but a while
After I leave, I texted to her like, “Come and see me tomorrow.”
