Sitting in the courtyard

Watching the
people sitting
in the courtyard
is so interesting
to me.
I love to watch
Friday and Saturday
night.
The couples come
out, the families.
Its funny to watch
them.
Each person plays
their part.
One place along
a small wall
is my favorite.
I can watch from
a small window,
behind
a tree.
This is were the
lovers sit.
young and
old.
The ones who
want to just
look
at each other
and be with
each other.
They do
not want to be
in the craziness
of the courtyard.
For a moment
as I am watching
They let me
into their
hearts for just
a moment
without
knowing.
The way they
hold hands.
The way they
look at each
other.
It tells a story
their story.
One day I
would love
to sit on that wall.
with the lights
and the water in the
background.
Looking into
your eyes,
with my story..
Our story.
