A Better Left Unspoken Feeling

When I see you, the world stops

—my world stops.

It stops and all that exists for me is you

and my eyes staring at you,

nothing else:

no noise, no thoughts, no worries,

no yesterdays, no tomorrow.

I see that my world is a beautiful place…

and it's becoming more beautiful 

every time I see you."

Twenty-five Sprinkles of a Familiar Unforgotten Feeling

1. I was already inside the jeep when she walked toward us.
2. She entered the jeep and all I could see was her entering the jeep—nothing else.
3. She sat down nine seats away and did not notice me at first.
4. I was looking at her the whole time.
5. Then, for the first time, she saw me staring at her.
6. Our eyes met and it felt like the world stopped.
7. Her eyes glittered and I wished she could not see the obvious spark in my eyes.
8. She smiled and waved hello. 
9. I replied a smile and a friendly nod.
10. I pretended I was doing something with my phone to break the aura of her and me.
11. After a while, I started looking at her once more.
12. To my surprise, for the second time, she again noticed me staring at her.
13. Then, she enthusiastically said that their theater play would be next week.
14. I asked the title of their play.
15. She said the title but I could not hear it nor could I read her lips.
16. She said better if I look into their tarp next time I drop by.
17. I still could not hear her but her lips told me so.
18. I eagerly nodded and said thanks.
19. She noticed that she already reached her place.
20. She walked toward the door and everything was in slow motion.
21. Then she stopped in front of me.
22. She tapped my knee, smiled, and said goodbye.
23. I smiled and uttered my response but she already walked past me.
24. But I know she heard me.
25. And she smiled walking away.
