A Missed Connection

Fleeting Love

A missed connection.

A desperate plea.

I saw you and you saw me.

Your face clear as day.

Fair skin, hair of golden rays.

Your eyes said, anywhere but here.

As if pleading for more.

Preoccupied I am sure with the struggle of the day.

Every corner I turned you were there.

A smile crossed your pale pink lips.

A blush rushed across my face.

I held your gaze for a second, willing words to come.

Wishing for words to come.

The words stuck in my throat.

Nothing came and I turned away.

Regret like fire spread to every limb.

Looking up you were gone.
