Emeralds

I see her across the way,
Emerald eyes meeting mine.
The hint of a smile crosses her lips
and I can’t help but laugh.
She giggles in the way of young women,
I chuckle like only a young man can.
I turn to leave, only to be assaulted
by the sound of her voice, lilting through the air.
“Can’t you stay for a drink?”
I can.
I do.
