The Love and Lost Quartet - Part One - a Chance Meeting

like a breath of fresh air
my eyes fixated as she rushed on by
like an angel put here just for me

my shyness a weakness
an opportunity left behind in her wake
a ticket to stand in her presence

her deepest desires and darkest secrets
bound up inside a spiral notebook
finding its way to the floor

i took possession of it without hesitation
giving silent chase without a name to call
tracking just the scent of her lilac perfume

heart racing and pupils dilating
tired muscles and short on breath
dodging people and barreling through corridors

once outside my pursuit ends
a gentle touch creating ripples for years to come
how soft her skin felt under my fingertips

her long brown hair flowing as she turned
her green eyes piercing through me
and her voice intoxicating me with but a word

"yes?"
yes, yes indeed
oh god yes

without a word on my part
she looks down and takes notice
bewilderment mixed with relief on her face

a "thank you" from her lips
felt like being knighted
forever your humble servant

oh dear angel
speak unto me your name
"danielle"

my body shudders
my mind races
my chest tightening

my name escapes as meek
she smiles
and waves goodbye

that night in my bed
restless by the days events
by the glow of my desk lamp

pen in hand, "february 20, 1994
dear journal, today
i met the girl of my dreams..."
