right now,

i can feel him looking at me.

i feel him.

this is the only time i've felt another human being.

for a moment,

it's like the side of my head is melting.

it's not.

it's just him.

his eyes

his lips

his cheeks

his nose

all of him is pointing in my direction.

what is this?

i look at him.

"hi."

that's all i say.

he's surprised.

"hi."

and his eyes

his lips

his cheeks

his nose

do the things that eyes

and lips

and cheeks

and noses do

when someone smiles.

and this time

he was smiling at me.

and i felt him.

no,

i didn't feel him.

i knew him.

i experienced him.

i saw him.

and he saw me.

i exhale.

he does, too.

we smile again.

as simple as a hi.

as simple as a, "my name is".

as simple as a "nice to meet you".

and soon

we've got each other all figured out.
