The Man in the Store

This weekend I went to the store
A one I'd never been to before
When I saw a familiar face
That awakened feelings in me, and rocked me to the core.

It's a store that's not my cup of tea
But I enjoyed it nonetheless
But to whose smile I was drawn to
The above is your guess.

I first saw him in 2005
A tragedy he faced
He lost his partner in the tsunami
To humanity, it was a disgrace.

While my relatives looked for linens
I was in a daze
I was drawn by your picture
And the smile on your face.

I was amazed
I was in a trance
It's as if the whole world didn't matter
With you, I wanted a chance.

I'm sorry that it took so long
To realize what a sweet guy you really seem to be,
If I ever meet you, it will be a joy
To say that you're happy to meet me.
