A Yellow Rose

I am thinking of the day
            I came to you
                        with a yellow rose

a passing businessman
            said hello to you
                        you put it in your hair

today is like that day
            the sun is hot
                        on a crowded city

we are discovering each other
            anew
                        in the crowd
