Hazel and Rafael, each other's mystery.
Across the room, but worlds apart
They await to make history.
Her eyes have scanned hoping to steal,
A glance from him, a rush that's real.


The crowd dies down, a moment just right.
He motions to leave while her feet take flight.
Lingering presence, no move so bold.
A raincheck this time, the introductions untold.

But patience is key, soon they'll meet.
Overcoming fear is the heart's greatest feat.
