A Brief Encounter
Will I ever see you again.....
A brief moment in time,
two people glancing, smiling, staring...
hearts connected through space and feeling;
time seems endless inside this magical bubble.
A connection - a spark from within,
a jolt of high voltage.
Why at this distance?
Why at this moment?
I look away for only a second,
you are gone when my look returns.
You - beautiful you - have vanished!
My feet were in cement,
always in cement!
Why didn't I move closer?
Why didn't I say something?
I knew and you knew,
not chance - fate!
By design we were placed there,
it was ordained...pre-arranged.
Cement - that damn cement!
What may have been, can't be today.
Tomorrow, maybe one more chance?
Or perhaps, some new cement shoes?
Will I ever see you again?
