The Cellaphone Number

I've got her cell-phone number!

One chance meeting and it yielded a cell-phone number...what luck!

I'm not sure I'm worthy of her dialogue, but I did appreciate that smile,

and the way her eyes glistened in the sun.

I've been alone together, for quite awhile...

..but that prohibits me, not...from enjoying the beauty of her hair.

That's where things begin-not end.

Yes, I thank God for the beauty of you...rare.

The caricature of  each of your mannerisms sprinted across my heart.

The riddle of your being leaves me anxious to guess the answer over and over; 

 and I'm intrigued-for I see promise and hope in your windows.

Please don't close those shades...for I can use your light to erase the shadows...

..and I will learn to see more clearly.

Let's share a dream and quench each others' thirsts.

Share with me your "tell", and you will know that I am serious...

..for I'll probably "text" you..........soon.

Take a lesson from me

I woke up one morning with a beautiful girls mobile number and couldn't understand why she gave it to me. Thought I must have told her incredible lies. Next time I saw her I asked her why and she was really offended, she just liked me. cheers, Jess
