Unanswered questions

It all starts when you see that person across a crowded room, and your eyes meet.  Almost doing a double-take, to make sure that they are looking back at you.  Then the slightest hint of a smile spreads across both of your faces.  It lasts for more than a few seconds, but feels like everything around you has stopped in time.  And then you ask yourself... are they flirting with you, or just being polite?   Is it just a part of their nature, just because they are a nice person and always wearing a smile for everyone that they see?  Or is it something more than that?  Could they really be flirting with you, are you flirting back at them?   Do they find you at all attractive, did they see something that they liked about you?  Is it your clothes, maybe the hat you wore that day that everyone tells you that you look great in, or is it just the way that you are standing there... being yourself?

You stand there, losing all sense of your surroundings.  Focusing in on that one person, how they look, how they carry themselves, every movement they make, trying to take it all in for as long as you possibly can.  You attempt to get closer to them, to reach out or maybe say something, hoping to hear them speak or to acknowledge that you exist if even in the smallest way.  Then it happens, they open their mouth to speak and the words float through your head like a drug, making you intoxicated on their very existence.  You stumble over your own words, becoming clumsy & giddy like a young school girl.  Trying to keep some sense of dignity, you try to keep your composure, hoping that you don't make a complete fool of yourself.  Did they notice that you were staring at them the whole time, almost to the point of drooling, although attempting to look as cool and confident as you can be in front of someone so incredibly good-looking?  You feel the butterflies in the pit of your stomach, fluttering around & making you feel something that you haven't felt before.  And yet you wonder, could there be a mutual attraction there, are they feeling the same thing that you are feeling right now?  Could this be the start of something more?  

You may never know the true answers to those questions, as reality starts sinking in.  Suddenly noticing that there is a group of people standing all around you.  That you are not alone, standing in the middle of a busy, crowded restaurant.  The blood starts to rush back to your head, you almost get dizzy with thoughts of bolting out of there as fast as you can, hoping that no one noticed the whole encounter.  You run back to your lonely world, wondering in the back of your mind, if by some weird twist of fate... that it really happened.  That you weren't just day-dreaming again of 'the ONE'.

Yes, this really happened to me, very recently in fact.  Who knows, if the story will be continued or not.  I guess you will just have to tune in at a later time to see for yourselves.  Til then, take care & hold onto your dreams, you never know when or where they might come true!
