black fedora

he spotted my black fedora 
from across the dance floor 
when we reach arm’s length 
you complimented me 
little did I know that was 
the start of a new chapter
 
thought it was a bit short 
the adventure was indeed fun 
occasionally I sit and wonder 
what city you dance in now 
I still have that black hat 
sitting in my closet now 
collecting dust and memories

    A poignant piece... might be time for a new hat.

    Even those short chapters become relevant in our lives.

    It is amazing how things just take your there! Great memories. Hang on to the hat... you might need it again!

    Beautiful and poignant, Arcadia. If this is fiction, it sure doesn't feel like it!

    Good memories shouldn't collect dust😊
    Dust it off wear it
    Relive the moments

    Much💜love
