When Strangers Meet Remembering that first awkward moment sitting across from you... Me, rarely looking up as your eyes kept seeking mine. Every so often, catching each, making me cast mine down again. Was it shyness that made me blush? (feeling the heat of your gaze) Couldn't be the words escaping your lips in response to mine... but rather the knowledge that a stranger was viewing me so intently, knowing more, than I knew of myself. Excusing yourself for a few moments, left me in thought... I had been rambling on nervously, never realizing that your dessert was finished and mine barely begun. You returned shortly but our time together was up. We left each...learning only that, which we allowed to be exposed. Not enough for me... How about you? Maureen/Moonchild 7*10*2k |

Remembering that first awkward moment sitting across from you... Me, rarely looking up as your eyes kept seeking mine. Every so often, catching each, making me cast mine down again. This captures the hidden innocence of that very special moment that we never want to let go of. Well done and again welcome to Passions |
