The Glance

I look up at the same time as you
For one precious second we share a glance
Our eyes connect across the room
Is this to be, or was it just chance?

Your eyes are green, with specks of gold
Mine are brown, dark as mud
In that moment it felt as though
Our veins were joined; connected by blood

Just one glance was all it took
Electric static sparkles around
I walk to you, slow step by step
You walk to me without a sound

The crowd it parts, they dance for us
Our silent mime; at last we meet
I break the stare, you clasp your hands
I look down at my twitching feet

The crowd, they hum, the people jumble
I look to you; a nervous smile
You take my hand, we start to walk
Together, on an endless mile.

A chance meeting. A fast heart beating. A bond closer than most. I shouldn't really boast. A meeting of minds. A coincidence you may find. A nervous feeling. I wasn't wearing anything revealing.

Him

Okay. So I really need to get this out. I don't know who he is, or what he is. I don't even know his name. But I know what I felt, and that's enough. I don't remember when I first saw him that day.

Between Us

A bumpy road still travels, Like a ball of yarn unravels, To snake across our hearts, From wherever we lie apart, Like a kitten I toss it in the air, And think of words to say I care, While miles...
