Today I was walking to my class with my friends and I saw you in front of me. You were there, walking as a free spirit will, oblivious to the eyes that were tracking your every move. My mind and my heart were at battle, my mind was telling me to ignore you and follow along to what my friends were saying but my heart was adamant in its refusal to not take notice. You were there, engrossed in whatever thoughts fascinated you and I was there, chasing your thoughts, desperately curious. You suddenly turned back and I wasn't quick enough to avert my eyes and you caught me staring. You smiled that crooked smile and that smile rocked my world for a moment. And as I desperately tried to calm my heartbeat, you continued on, walking further and further away, now mindful of the eyes following you. And my friends steered me in another direction and I turned back to catch another glimpse of you and you were also there, turning back with that crooked smile on your lips. I turned back around, only now coming back from the world where only you and I exist and taking mind of reality and that reality, I noticed now, included me about to crash into a pillar on my way. And as I quickly moved away and turned back again to catch another last glimpse, because no amount of glimpses and gazes will ever satisfy my curiosity, I saw you stifling a laugh. Curiosity temporarily sated, I went on my way, replaying every moment of those minutes and treasuring every quirk and flaw and every last detail. I went on my way and you Continued on yours, and I was powerless to do anything but wait for our next encounter.
