If it were years until
lazy unsuspecting stare
met eyes to eyes
across pavement again

know this

I
will smile
love

eyes would not
forget

you

I would let mine
kiss yours
in blink
of remember
touch your lips
with hello

and part
.
.
.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

Gemma, WOW, this happened to me once when we hadn't seen each other in about 4 years, and when our eyes met, we both "startled", visibly. We were with new partners, so our eyes said hello and we kept on going. Your write really touches me, and into my library it goes! ~K~

eyes would not
forget

you

I would let mine
kiss yours
in blink
of remember
touch your lips
with hello

and part
in silence..such a touch would move from your eyes..to a place in your heart.. and you would remember..a bit like remembering a breeze on bare cheek..

you wrote this well... and it aches, but not without an understanding that things pass and change..and do not destroy..just change

gemma, gemma~
You have such a nice way with words,
and always you leave me wavering between
a smile and a tear.
