Happy 77-th birthday!


That first time I noticed you

I walked through that cafe

and you attracted my eye

sitting at the bar between 

two adoring male friends

while you did not notice 

me noticing you totally.

The second time I noticed you

it was at the bar of that same cafe

sitting diagonally opposite each other

talking to and via mutual friends talking  

looking at each other, fate arranging lives.

The third time we faced each other

was on christmas eve in a disco

but instead of dancing we just

talked and enjoyed every bit

information we exchanged

and would meet on NYE.

December 1985 ⓒ


New Year's Eve we danced all night

straight on through breakfast time

just before parting an exchange

of numbers and a cheeky kiss

a phone call later and a date

that extended the 24 hours

until it lasted our lifetime.

For and to my wife Ellen, Elly, of course, just for her. With all my love. Happy birthday!
