It happened with a stranger;

as all great things do.

He stood unaware of my stare.

With clouded eyes, my lips formed a scowl,

but then my heart corrected the foul.

and began its fluttery firework dance in my pit,

I couldn’t make it quit!

I tried nonchalance, but knew I was running out of time,

soon he would disappear!

When next would my heart chime?

If there is such a thing as true love’s and soul mate’s,

and that is the feeling you feel when you see them,

then I think I have discovered mine,

in a moment’s time.

Will I see him again?

Sadly, if I feel that with anyone else,

would that wish all have been for naught?
