Quiescent

You drifted into my ambience, on a light summers breeze 
  I'd never seen such perfection, carried with so much ease
  We barely interacted, though our eyes may just have met
  Quiescently touching my heart, a moment I'll never forget

Heya Susan, I was surprised this one went down so well, it was my first crush, the day before girls where just friends in the schoolyard, a light must've switched on overnight lol, cheers David

Heya Brandy, I was only 12 or 13, so wasn't sure what I was feeling, puppy love perhaps, but even now all those years later, the memory is pretty powerful, you wrote the book on these type of poems, and for it to catch your attention is touching indeed, thank you for stopping by, cheers David
