We met at the appointed time
By the stream that creeps
Through the ancient woods
That is near my abode
The trees greeted us as we met by the bridge
Their leaves dancing with the wind
Their pollen falling on our clothes and hair
Showering us with their delight

We talked and talked on the bridge
Laughing away and giggling
Enjoying every single moment
Listening to the sound of the stream
As we talked about each other's past
We could not help but notice each other's hair
Thick and coal black
Peppered with minute little yellow pollens
Then a wolf howled
It's howl permeating the lovely atmosphere
But we were not terrified
Instead, we admired one of God's creation

Then we decided to take a walk
A journey together
On a path filled with flowers by the roadside
Lovely little things of red and dark purple

As we admired the flowers
A pair of emerald-eyes stared at us
From among the flowers
Its feline gaze following our every move

I could not resist the urge to pat it
While you just stood back and looked
Uncertain whether to approach
As I stepped forward towards it
However it walked away from me
It's tail held upwards
As it departs from our presence
Leaving us behind
Fun our time together may be
However time passes so fast
It was time I walk you back to town
Though reluctant we were
As we made our way back
We encountered a horse carriage
It's horses pulling it's burden
With it's lone driver behind it

As we walked back to the stream
We paused on the bridge
And continued our conversation
As the leaves danced in delight
Whilst we were engrossed in our conversation
I noticed how beautiful your hair is
Whilst you noticed my brown eyes
As we stared at each other
Soon it was time
Before we embarked on our last walk
We cleared the pollens from each other
To ensure we looked tidy
As we walked back towards the town
We both thought how wonderful today was
Though short
It was indeed a beautiful moment
Soon we reached the town gates
There we parted and go our own ways
Waving and smiling
We bade each other farewell

As I walked home alone
The only thing that goes through my mind is
This is the beginning of our story
Our friendship journey
This is not the end
Instead
This is the beginning of our weird but beautiful friendship
