a smile protrudes
from a joke I uttered
and the confidence did rise in me
happiness did fill in me
was this a conquer of the heart
detailing us to be one and a we
with courage and no fear of the people
as we were at the market
took the hand and held it strongly
no reaction from the other
wholesome it was accepted
well if this was not a positive sign
of us being the new lovebirds in town
in this February heat
what was it
