Description
For a second I saw youIn your confident stride
Weaving casually through the crowd
Politely apologizing if you touched another
Coffee in hand
You seem ready for the day ahead
For a second my life froze in place
As your wandering gaze settled on me
For the first time I feel insecure
A touch of fear coursing through me
And when I looked back over my shoulder
You were still watching
For a second I smiled at you
And you grinned in exchange
I was walking on a cloud for the first time
Somehow I had to remember you
So I held on a little longer
Letting you soak through me for sure
For a second I thought you were gone
Yet somehow you found me again
And this time graced me with your splendor
Our conversation was devastatingly short
Nonetheless it was ours
To see you go was something I could not do
So I ran after you as soon as I could get away
For a second I wanted to cry
Again I lost those eyes
So alone I felt at that moment
I screamed with a new frustration
A burning pain of loneliness shot through my veins
Like an addicts heroin
I needed you again
For a second I stopped breathing
My gaze lingered on all who wore green
All the eyes I dared to look into were empty
Perhaps fate will do me a favor now
And let me see you again
So I can let you know I saw you too

cha, fav it!! make me look good!! 
yes, he did leave an impression. it was more about the fact that he talked to me when he saw me again. twas crazy. no guy had ever done that before...i mean he could've just walked by and pretended he didn't see me...

But that would be the end of the story! He had to say something. A step up from the guy in white on the corner.

hmm, you need to just keep getting out where you met him and see if he comes back...if you are close enough to him to go back, he might also be. go at the same day same time.
