asked if she could wait

not rush things .. take it real slow

make sure we're ready

she did agree .. yes

we lived seven thousand miles

half a world away

we finally met

late summer .. autumn so near

in wild new orleans

picked her up at dark

early evening .. rain kept falling

made it to hotel

she'd a real long flight

eleven straight hours .. non-stop

we fell on the bed
