They

A glance, a subtle meeting of eyes...
Then a look of recognition comes over each of them

It's him, the one she was hoping to see
It's her, the angel from the keyboard

Even more beautiful in person, he thought
Even more outgoing and sure of himself than she realized

Her eyes, becomming more piercing with each jaw dropping stare
Him, the one she never expected to go for her

A girl... the girl he wants
A boy... the boy behind the counter

Her swaying locks of brunette beauty
His backwards cap and quirky smile

He wants to be with her
She needs to be with him

Her...
Him...

Together...

Not her, not him
But they would be bliss

    Liked the repetition of her and him throughout the poem and the final outcome works well here. Think we can relate to this at sometime in our life.

    this is such a cute love story!
    i love several of your unique phrases in here, like "the angel behind the keyboard."
    i love how you have both of their points of views, because it makes the poem so lovely and so interesting.

    Interesting. The angel behind the keyboard. At first I thought it was about online love, but then I wasn't sure. Cute last line.

    This is such a sweet poem. I love how you described that unexpected moment when they came face to face with each other for the first time, how you left just enough unresolved at the end to tantalize the reader into imagining his or her own ending to their story.

    A beautiful poem of convergence, the initial meeting with hopes and dreams realized in that moment. Well written dual perspective poem my Bandit friend.

    This is really nicely written and idealistic. We all like to think love will turn out like this. For some it does, for many it doesn't. It doesn't work out for me.
