A Dear Old Friend ... I'd Finally Just Met

Pressed against the window,
hard and cold against my face,
I watched for you to come,
but I only knew your name.

I knew that when I saw you,
I suddenly would know,
from a look within your eyes
A stranger-- but not unknown.

As the sun began to warm
the glass against my face,
I could feel the anticipation,
as my heart began to race.

Down the road, I saw you coming,
Watching, as you left your car behind,
I held the key against the lock,
hesitating to open, the door that lead to me.

As you stood there, outside the door,
I slowly pulled it free,
My arms slipped quietly around you,
a dear old friend ... I'd finally just met.
