The Stare...

Your eyes keep finding mine,
they seem to meet at awkward times.
At first, it was just a glance,
As playful eyes, begin to dance.
Constantly distracted with each stare.
Hoping I didn't see you there.
I did, and turned away.
Avoiding those eyes, that mesmerized
My day.
I didn't want to take a chance,
As each stare, turned more intense.
That mutual feeling, shared by two.
Revealing only, what the eyes can do.
I decided to ignore them, and went on
my normal routine.
I found myself drifting slowly,
as curiosity took a hold of me.
Looking for those eyes, just a glance to
Pass my way. Not knowing when I'd see you again.
Hoping, it would be today.
Just wanting to know more,
Beyond the silence, in a look.
My heart almost enslaved,
to the hold, that your stare took.....

Cherry...... this is so movingly perceptive on your part...when I was reading this it brought back many moments when we happen to chance on a stranger who we've seen before....maybe more than a couple times..standing at the checkout...taking a bus...and something very strongly attractive perhaps is going on...and thus the stare...but yet we never atually meet...strange but true....

You just never know when you will meet someone. I made eye contact with a total stranger once on a bridge, this bridge has since been removed and put on the other side of the East Dubuque bridge. Sometimes nice attention is enough to start a spark. Merry Christmas! wow detective detective gingerbread
