Hi

You thought to yourself

he is talking to me

he is saying hi

he likes me

and you can't imagine why

Perhaps it is just politeness

human kindness

the way he treats all

with a worthiness

that is not a lie

Perhaps

you have a quality

Perhaps

it was chance

why question why

enjoy

the moment

don't get lost

in asking why

and let it pass you by.
