TIMING

Wrote this poem 4 years ago....just came across it.  It made me smile yet made me sad.  Some times we meet someone when there are obstacles in the way.  It is best to move on rather than stay.  This just happened to be one of them.  Sad how many people stay in an unhappy marriage and then meet someone they think is the one for them but timing isn't right.  Every thing worked out just the way it was suppose to....Enjoy

The night air is heavy, the band plays on the patio
The music is cheery and the energy is clearly on go
There is dancing and drinking and merriment galore
Our eyes lock as we gaze at one another across the floor

That twinkle, that knowing, there's someone I'd like to meet
The smile, the laughter and the feelings, oh so sweet
We flirt, we smile as our eyes catch each other's glance
Bravely I motion, meet me on the floor for a dance

We talked a little and danced to the slow song
I asked a few questions but knew her name all along
The night wore on and we danced once more
Holding her gently on that dance floor

Then time came for the evening to end
Our conversation was just about to begin
We talked and we chatted for what seemed like a while
But all I can remember is how I liked her smile

She agreed to meet me and let me take her out
I was excited and had very little doubt
I had met someone I'd really like to know
Our first date seemed to set me aglow

Then as we chatted to know one another
My life situation was now discovered
There is someone else in my life, I can't deny
And my new lady is now telling me goodbye

Timing is everything, we must be on the same page
And to have a special someone when you are this age
Is one thing to wish for and long to be true
It's timing, my darling, she said, "it isn't about you".
