At First Sight

A glimpse,

A race,

A chasing of eyes.

…

Hearts pounding,

Pupils darting,

Such a beautiful surprise.

…

Some say that before you die,

Your life flashes before your eyes,

But you just proved them wrong.

…

I saw everything from the past,

Separate and yet, so perfectly lined,

Even fate could not have written this song.

…

Then I saw the, "you and me",

In a house with a big ugly tree,

And we were watching our kids play at the park.

…

Then the lull from the chime,

Of the clock stealing time,

Getting older, but still making sparks.

…

And I could've died content,

In that blink of an eye,

But to have done so would've been quite a shame.

…

Having lived through that life,

In all of its beauty and strife,

Without ever having gotten your name.
