Perhaps it was a storm that on some night
In winter forced you in below this ledge.
And it was cold.
You thought to rest and warm yourself
And when the storm had gone then you would go.
But the elements were calling for your time;
You went before the storm.
To meet you then might have been commonplace indeed;
To meet you now———most interesting.
