Love Poem: Zero Gravity

Zero Gravity

I was out there running wild 
and free
Solo flight my own trajectory
In full control of my own 
destiny
When I got caught in your 
love's gravity
 
In my mind I was just passing 
through
Grab some lunch and maybe 
have a brew
But somehow one beer turned 
into a few
Right after I first laid my eyes 
on you

You just stood there looking 
heaven sent
Not too wild and and yet not 
that innocent
A smile that made me feel like 
I was home
And question why I felt the 
need to roam

We didn't talk much cos the 
bar was packed
When you smiled at me, well I 
just smiled right back
When you asked me mister do 
you have a name
I said I'm kinda rusty at the 
dating game. 

You poured two shots and said 
you're doing fine
If memory serves that was 
back in 99
Looking back now I see you 
understood 
This was the beginning of 
something really good.
