Wrong Floor? Maybe Not

Elevator doors open and

Out I step into the hallway

Only to realize

Not my intended,

Not my floor.

Looking around to get better bearing

When down the corridor

Rolls my beloved.

So unexpected.

Oh, so delighted,

Whispers of joy to

My quaint sense of hearing.

 

Where have you come from?

Where are you going?

On second thought

Matters naught

Now you’re here.

Had I departed

When judgement imparted

This moment might never

Have happened, I fear.

 

Together at last.

Together for always.

Lilting with laughter or

Laden with tears.
