I saw you on a city street.

(to a beautiful stranger)

Seeing you,

I marveled.

A slip of your hair fell down

Your candid glance that only I saw.

I stand still in the crowd-

The crowd is an angry river

But I freeze everything.

 

I walk around pedestrians to you,

(you are also standing still)

 I look at you another second,

Then with a careful finger, fix your hair.

 

Upon release,

You continue on 

Brush my shoulder, 

Passing me there.

Your eyes look straight ahead.

But I still see you.

I will always see you.
