For the second time in ten years, I saw you. Crossing the room to your table and catching your eye was a mystical moment behind my calm smile. As soon as you were in my sight i knew it had been too long since i'd seen you.
Then the questions started forming in my mind. As the evening passed, though, they didn't stay in order in some list. I guess the melted into a single thought that i resist attempting to explain or describe. Though you wouldn't look me in the eyes, I know you could feel me looking into yours.
I found myself wishing. I caught myself in the act of hoping for ridiculous hopes and pointless futures. I dressed up my life in a suit and hoped that appearances could be everything. And damn you for smiling, for breathing, for your energy, so addictive.
Not that it matters. Not that the universe even blinks in response to my thoughts, my feelings. I am a fleeting moment, an afterthought in the twinkle of a star. Still, in times when I can be your bodyguard again, I am suddenly elevated from afterthought. I am given the keys to some city and the power to adjust life. I a moment that could go on forever.
Thank you from the depths, the fathoms of my being. There was no accident in our meeting again. Coincidence only exists because we don't comprehend the reasons. I will not take this one for granted.
