I didn't even know your name
and you didn't know mine,
but I felt myself shake and shiver
when I caught your eyes on me
and my eyes landed on you.
We were young, experiencing
a new time of life, surrounded
by strangers, thrown together
entirely by chance, the throw
of the dice and us together.
I saw a flicker of the future
dance before my eyes, thinking
of you and I together, but you
disappeared as soon as you
had come, fleeing from the room.
You appeared and disappeared,
the magician leading the magic act,
you didn't know the one who would
ground you was sitting in that room,
waiting to lay her eyes back on yours.
