BEFORE THEY KNEW
They said,
“Those eyes, chico… they never lie.”
He never believed it
until sunlight touched her gaze.
Her eyes —
brown like a sunset merges into dusk.
When the light rests on them
the color deepens,and suddenly
He found himself
Loving brown —
a color he never noticed before.
And then……..
Across the room
someone laughs softly.
His smile —
warm like the first sunlight of morning,
gentle like a day
Like a song, she never knew
She would ever need
the kind of smile
that makes ordinary hours
feel a little brighter.

He doesn’t know
someone fell for that warmth of smile.
She doesn’t know
someone fell for those pairs of brown eyes.
Neither of them know
they were already
falling for each other
Perhaps they were designed
by soul and fate
