Honeydew

When the ball dropped and midnight strikes

It wasn't before he sent his emoji kiss and calling it a night

Oh the sweet new coming like honeydew

In his chocolate eyes

His licorice red vine smile

His deep voice

Telling stories that potential lovers do

We have to distance in this COVID 19 time

It is very different from the year 2020 guys

However I met him already way before

It was at a Barnes and Nobles Bookstore

We walked in mesmerized by the light in his eyes and his wonderful 6 ft height

He came in with a  hug

I was shy like a butterfly

His encircled arms wrapped me in  a cozy snug

Then he spoke his lines

I dont know what he said

Everything now is over my head

He had me before hello

His question was what kind of coffee do you know

I think he ordered black coffee and I had a pumpkin spice latte

It was autumn at the time

I cant say what day or month or year

We sat at the area of tables

Talked about biographies and fables

Each moment I wanted him to be near

But I was too shy

I couldn't read his mind

I wrote  a poem about him when I got home

I don't know which one

Yet yesterday he told me he was a Taurus

His last name starts with an F

I guess its enough to know then

If its meant to be we will be

Till then I am thankful for this new honeydew inspiration of poetry

Falling sweet on me like a kiss emoji

Oh the sweet new

Like a melon honeydew
