today

I thought of you. Today.

Random chapters.

The way your hair fell. Into the blue of your eyes. That afternoon I encountered you. In the park.

And you caught. The vulnerability of an open heart.

Your smile. At my discovery of the sweetness. Of mangoes on lips. Dusted icing sugar.

And though none of it spoke rationale. For I am me. And you are you. And we are two worlds apart. I found myself drawn. And I sense you were, too.

So now as I lay. In the quiet breeze. And the sun streams light. Across the dim of the room. Like jellyfish tendrils.

I plunge. Into an ocean of hope. Ridiculous hope.

From whence you first said. Be not afraid. So I moved closer.

And then it all vaporized. Into nothingness.
