I would never have seen her
Seated in the corner
Buried in a book
A cup of something near her
She was a sight
=====
She looked up and around
Something had distracted her
Her eyes followed the sound
It was the crash of a dish
She was a sight
=====
Then our eyes met
She didn’t look down
She didn’t smile
She didn’t assess me
She just looked at me
=====
I couldn’t look away
I couldn’t tear my eyes away
I couldn’t release her gaze
I couldn’t help myself
She just looked at me
=====
My mother would say she is forward
My aunties would say she is trouble
My father would say she is too strong
My boys would ask if I am serious
I just can’t walk away
=====
There are things your heart know are true
There are places your heart gets comfortable
There are days your mind has to lead
There are people you cannot leave
She is one of them
=====
I cannot stop my heart from connecting
I cannot shift my mind from her
I will not determine anything now
I will not shy away from afar
She is a sight to behold
=====
My heart knows she is a special one
My heart is unafraid to approach
My mind knows that connection will be great
My soul is settled on her
She is a sight to behold
=====
I don’t know how things will go
I don’t know where this will end
I don’t know if it is worth it
I don’t know many things
Yet I know I will reach out
=====
I reach out to meet a new person
I reach out to grow in life experience
I reach out to understand another
I reach out to be shifted in life
I just know it will be well
=====
