At first glance
I knew immediately
how could one not
recognize whom we grow to love
when confronted
by their reality.
She was looking forward,
I felt safe
if only, sheltered,
let my hand rest on a chair
nearby,
we could hear one another breathe
if she knew I was there.
I imagined to myself,
if this is real,
she will know I’m here
turn around
smile or walk away,
I let a dream happen in my mind
years ago the same
occurred.
Yet today is
was
different
her confidence in posture
seemed unreachable
seemed meant
for someone else’s touch,
their arms, lips, eyes,
I was afraid to move.
I then stepped backward,
quiet,
the silence was a weight
I could not overcome,
I felt the emotion
of taking risks,
of looking in one another’s eyes
and knowing
we could not
though desperate in our passion
we could.
Moments later,
a stroll down the cobblestone,
I found a new cafe,
settled in outside
still she was in my mind.
I took one sip of a
fashionable latte,
then,
I looked away.
