NaPoWriMo 3 Koper

My first step onto Slovenian soil was the seaside mini city of Koper.

Koper, Slovenia

The girl at the cafe
with the sad eyes and infectious smile.
She laughed self consciously when I tried to be funny.
No make up and hair twisted back with a pencil.
She hurried away, finishing her thought,
not watching where she was going.

Green sweater, brown pants,
so thin and nondescript,
she's no idea the strength of her effect.
For a fleeting moment, I fell in love with her.
I see her no more, we have parted ways, yet
she is forever etched upon my heart.
