It is strange how our paths collide
As if we knew all along
But pretended to fall asleep seating in the same chair;
It is simply a coincidence I repeat
But my heart wishes it were a push of fate,
Like a closed gate thrust ajar by a storm;
It is strange how the same light glints in our eyes
But of course,
We are under the same sun, moon, and stars
But could it be a light revealed by fate?
A simple mirror that showed each other’s face?
You say you only remember a girl
With hair spun in ringlets of gold
A shy smile asking if this seat is occupied
You shook your head, and I sat
You seemed different before,
A smile replaced by the floor
Clear eyes veiled by mist
What happened to make
Brown eyes darker
A smile sharper
What made you lift your head higher?
I cannot tell if you want me to believe
That you know something
That no one can grasp
Or if they,
Have grasped it
But cannot distinguish its name.
I did not speak to you then
I did not know we would be meeting again;
When I saw you at school
I did not know it was you
Sitting in the chair across the room
Shoulders hunched
Eyes traducing the crowd;
It seems as if you stepped
From a cold shower
Into the darkest night;
You let it devour your light
You gave up
Without even giving a fight.
But still I am drawn to you
The innocence in your eyes
Has faded
Replaced by a smoldering glare;
But I looked at you
As if I had never seen you before;
I never even gave you a thought,
Until now,
When you said that you never forgot.
