Love at first sight…..

On a lonely lane I was walking…lost in my own thoughts …
Then there was a gust of breeze that touched my cheeks and I turned…
My heart skipped a beat and color rose to my cheeks.
I stood dazed for a moment praying time would stand still…
There he was so tall and handsome with a lost look in his eyes…
I felt like reaching out to him ..
Then I realized…
The distance would not permit nor the pace …when my mind found focus I wondered was he worth the chase?
What if he was an illusion of my exhausted mind….what if getting closer was a move made by the blind..
I sighed and turned away but my heart so badly wanted to sway….
I sat down on the staircase and whispered to my self….
If it is meant to be, so it shall be
but not today….
