I saw her out of the corner of my eye,
this beautiful blonde walking her dog
on a sharp sunny day.
She turned my way and smiled.
Her lean canine companion
oblivious to the traffic around them,
simply waiting to walk again.
Imagine my surprise as I realized
I knew this beautiful woman.
What's more she knew me.
She knew my ins and outs,
my highs and my lows,
my strengths and my weaknesses.
She smiled and waved,
surprised yet I think happy to see me.
I smiled back and called out a greeting,
crunched for time as the light changed.
I pulled away and thought to myself
what a lucky man I was to have a wife
so beautiful and so patient,
delighted to see me while knowing not
when she would see me again.
