I was walking down the street hurriedly,
as I was running late, when I saw a familiar face.
There was some girl that looked like you walking ahead of me,
but she was just a little bit thinner.
Her hair flowed like yours, Her eyes just a little bit bigger.
She had complexion just like yours, a bit taller, but I couldn't really tell,
I haven't seen you for such a long time now.
Turns out, we were headed in the same direction.
She also rode the same ride i took and even sat beside me.
I was trying hard not to look, even trying harder not to stare,
but with each lash of the wind, I catch the scent of her hair.
I find my self thinking, but I quickly stop myself.
If not ignored, these thoughts I have will stay for sure.
I try to deviate my attention, I look out unto the streets.
But I'm like a moth to the flame, I get so easily lured.
I'm back again unconsciously staring at you, watching your every move.
Trying not to get caught, I manage a few glimpse here and there.
Suddenly our eye paths cross and pause for a split second, and we quickly turn away.
I was sure of it.
My heart was beating five times faster. I didn't know what to do.
The fact that she's inches away from me makes me shiver.
And slowly, she's edging nearer and nearer.
Why? I ask myself. Confused by her the sudden actions.
She closed the gap in between us. And I cannot speak.
I can feel her shoulder on mine, maybe just even a graze would suffice.
I get goosebumps. Just the feeling of her touch made all the difference.
She looks like the real thing.
She feels like the real thing.
She looks like you.
She feels like you.
I wish she was You.
In that moment,
I felt again what I thought I lost a long time ago.
The feeling of you near me.
That feeling of such peace and satisfaction,
The feeling of pure happiness.
I await for you to come again,
and maybe next time you won't be such a mystery.
