Love Story Understood By Two

He was quixotically chivalrous
A true old-fashioned romantic
She was a determined free-thinker
Against anything traditional

She was as captivating to him
as a majestic gloxinia is to a butterfly
He followed her for weeks
trying to get to know her, and woo her with his manners

She explained her positon clearly
Looking into his sky blue lashed orbs
But suddenly her heart took the reigns
Her soul-self agreed to coffee 

They went to lunch on a Wednesday
And went dancing on Saturday
Her friends were amazed she wore a dress
That showed off her tall tanned legs

No one thought they had anything in common
But they found that they had everything in common
They showed each other new ways of thinking and feeling
It was a match made by angels who were applauding

Thirty years later and six children strong
The neighbors still wonder how two such different people
Can be so happy together. A love story understood by two.
Which does not have to be explained or understood by anyone else.
