As strangers go friends

We met at a wedding
coming from far away places.
Our origins in countries
separated by many miles of water.

At first there was hesitation
and some avoidance.
Then came intrigue
and a magnet of interest.

Your eyes so sharp
yet with a tint of uncertainty.
A meeting for the first time
or a reunion after a long break.

Listening to your words
was most enjoyable.
Your ideas and thoughts
strangely familiar.
