In a Blink of An Eye

Beneath the low muffles Pedestrians shuffle An average city day Of hustle and bustle A lovely days stroll With no place to go Still the worlds moving fast But I'll remain slow Because theres no movement Unless I stand still To give my heart a chance To understand what it feels The brilliance of designs Engineered by our minds And yet we lack passion To save our own lives Surveying the pavement To the edge of concrete When I became overwhelmed By this vision I'd seen It was for a brief moment Yet I was surprised When I saw her blue eyes Staring back into mine Butterflies came to life It was love at first sight Our approach became closer And once again were her eyes I felt a connection Free from suggestions Connected like dots Lost in translation But what I seen was a world For this boy and that girl Behind a white picket fence And all this from a curb Could she be the one As the cat held my tongue I brought the words to my lips But my voice became numb Them damn butterflies They took me for a ride I may be made of steel But Im like butter inside So without knowing her name The light color changed Then they all crossed the street Moving on in their haste She disappeared in a blur Blending in with the world And there I was standing All alone on the curb But with a smile I left Without chance of regret Or what if I spoke The words my heart said Still overjoyed with delight It just wasn't our time And she was gone from my life In a blink of an eye ~ JJF ~
