A Moment, a Glance

She strode past in silence
A waif of a beauty
Her stance bore an innocence
though her her eyes shown with impurity
Was it her hands, pliant and delicate,
that drew this devil's eye?
To have simply caught a glimpse of her was fortunate
Even now, the moment our eyes met makes my heart sigh
I watch her walk out of my life without exchanging a word
A possible course of life I will never know
I now go back to a life that now seems absurd
Never to get to see where our lives would go

Every detail moves and fills the page. Very nice piece. I'm interested why you would refer to yourself as the devil though.
