I walked down the street, lost in deep thought
A glimpse of an angel, that's all I caught
My mind cleared in an instant, I looked all around
That mysterious person, nowhere to be found

I looked in the shops, and way down the road	
Moved with dedication, and not once I slowed
Where ever I looked, could not find you there
I just had to find you, my feelings were bare

Then there you were, there on the crossing
When you saw my interest, your hair you were tossing
I held up my hand, in a tentative wave
The look you sent back, encouragement gave

A crowd came between us, and then you were gone
Did you offer your friendship, and then just move on
If you wanted to know me, you'd come back into view
Oh wont you help me, I want to meet you

But from that day on, never saw you again
The mystery stayed, and so did the pain
In time my heart healed, and my life carried on
The mystery though, will never be gone

Warren, once you have caught a glimpse of the spirit world, or a taste or the smell, or a sound, you are never the same. Intriguing write!
