you froze and everything around you noticed. the air around you stood still and there was a pause. your lungs stopped. everything froze - except for her. slow motion. accidental staring. is this even real?
you didn't expect her. she crossed your path and you were struck by lightning. you see pretty girls everyday, but not like this. not like this. no...it's been a while. or how long has it been? she's different. she's so different. what is it? where is my mind? my heart is pounding. this one is not like the others. this feeling...is so different. it's been...wait...
you've never felt this way before. not at one glance. never like this. who is she? what is it? she's so different. your heart is pounding. she's nothing like the others. you've seen pretty girls before...but not like this. she's not hot.. she's not ...cute... she's... what is she? who is this girl? your head is still, your eyes move with her from one corner, to the other. you wonder if she sees you...she's beautiful. she's...
your mouth is locked slightly open, what if you look like an idiot? you can't blink. you don't want to blink. who is she? she's so different. there's something...what? wait...what? who is she?
you won't kid yourself here...this, no. this isn't love at first sight. you don't believe in that. no no. but, what is it then? your chest feels like it's going to explode. your heart is pounding. who is she? look at her....goodness. you are looking at her. you're staring...this has to be impolite. who cares? who is she? she floats in slow motion. blink...no.
[you don't notice: what she's wearing, your surroundings, time, "Foreground" by Grizzly Bear playing in your head, her gentle body, how rough you look, your toes curling, the sounds of the city, your hands clinching into fists, the halt in your veins, her ponytail bobbing in stride, the dim moon-lighting, the smell of rain in the air...]
at least...at least...say, no. at least...wait...
you've never felt this. you've met so many pretty girls...but, you've never...felt...this.
be brave you...breathe, you can...
she's getting away...
she's perfect. she's...
she's so different. she has perfect flaws...she's...
you've never felt this way before...
say "hello". your heart is pounding through your chest...she's floating away.
say something. say...
"hello".
two seconds in one day, feeling like two years. like a dream, but real.
i hope you all have this moment at least once in your lifetime...and then you marry her. it happens you know.
