When We First Met

To smile.
To greet.
To say hello to you,
Again when we meet.
And to begin a friendship
Based on that exchange.
Asking for first names...
And making our comments plain!
Let's not do anything strange.
Like changing your last name.
Or making commitments...
To make us change!
OR become estranged,
When we should have kept things the same...
When we first met and liked one another!
