Parallel feelings

I remember that summer day I saw you

You had on a faux yellow dress,

Your smile beautiful

A slightly uncommon hair-do

So close yet I thought you more precious than Saturn, its rings, any of its moons

Your gaze caused shivers and quakes

Made my heart leap

Then dug craters deeper than any ever made

When you uttered those words

Which I could not forget for the next week or two:

Could you introduce me to your friend, Andrew?
