By Chance a Glance, While Christmas Shopping 

I saw her

We were crossing in opposite directions 

Then ironically 

We happened to end up at the same cafe

What do you say?

When you have forgotten her name 

How to begin?

Time has flown by

Since we last met

Oh well, here I go

Walking across the cafe

Towards her table 

She catches sight of me 

Her eyes happy in acknowledgment 

“Hello Janine”

Yes! I remembered that smile 

We gleefully grinned 

And chatted as good friends do

Neither of us could recall 

How many years it was 

But no matter 

We continued our jovial banter
