Miracles Will

The nearness of our souls could be
Felt across time. No? Well,
at least across the room?

The sun, moon, and stars attended
Our first meeting... or maybe
That was the sparkle in my soda glass.

I knew it was love at first sight,
Saw it with my second sight.
Nervous as a schoolboy that night.

Now I realize you probably did not
Even recognize me but my imagination
Took your politeness and ran riot.

Success has taken me while the
Years have ravaged your dreams.
Predator and prey: an odd symbiosis.

I barely recognized you today after
All this time. From the time I
Saw you until you spoke chills leapt

Up and down my spine. After a few
Brief words I realized I only thought
I had a crush on you. And you only
Thought you didn't like me...
