A simple "hi"

@Uootem


Your voice carried on wings of a summer breeze
      catches me off guard... so enveloped in the duties of today
                    yet my ears still find the cherished diversion in its familiar tease
                                        images of a boyhood experience strikes a nerve
                    as I recall a long ago... in a different kind of day
      and start remembering every girlhood curve.


A simple "hi" from you... a stirring of memories in me
      with your voice so sweet... with an allure so uniquely strong
                    immediately recognizable as love's electricity
                                        a simple act in your long-missed special way
                    I must confess you have had my heart all along
      has changed my perception of this ordinary day.

And I must wonder in that brief encounter did you see
      are there words I can use for love to show?
                    what your simple greeting always means to me
                                        just to hear your recognizing "hi"
                    and as you walk on by... the path chosen long ago
      oh how much I will seek that sound again at "goodbye"
