I was in a haze, frantically trying to gain passage
When out of the fog of confusion walked a vision
She was an august sunset
She possessed the natural beauty that made your brain tingle
Blinking was a blatant misuse of resources
That fraction of a second could have been better spent
The night began to operate at half speed
She approached slowly, as if to allow time for preparation
Trying to formulate a sentence was futile,
She had already stolen the breath from my chest
She had a calming aura about her
Her smile excited your heart, but removed your anxiety
Fate had always been an elusive mystery
But here it was, one second away from smacking me in the face
The fog began to dissipate
This was a special moment, a special person
She had swept me off my feet
She was still eleven feet away
The world returned to speed, and my brain began to function
The instant was over, but a new one had begun
I have tried not to think about her every day since
I have failed.
