I Met Someone Today

Note: I found this while going through some old writing.  I originally wrote this about 15 years ago.

I met someone today.

A brief encounter.
A handshake.
We part.

An art exhibit.
We meet again.
We converse.
What a person.

A writer.
A history enthusiast.
An attractive personality.
We part again.

I ponder…
Who is this person?
Can we be friends?
Is this person
as shy as me?

I met someone today.
