AM Bradio

The hay.

The sand.

The brisk sea wind.

The haze of music.

I had caught a glance and immediately turned away but in that brief, magnetic connection…

I could sense you

Your thoughts were so loud they echoed in my mind.

“She’s judging me. She’s decided she doesn’t like what I wear, what I appear to be, and who I love.”

Others did this to you. 

You could not have known.

I turned away because…

Your eyes and energy captivated me.

It was instant and intense.

So much so I felt embarrassed at these sensations.

In that moment you were the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I had to look away or I would have stopped and stared for so long I would have drowned in your soul.

This brief, instant recognition you were completely blind to.

You don’t remember me. And why should you? You and I are in this life now, separated. 

I hope you somehow figure out what my turning around meant. You didn’t recognize me or remember the Us before. 

I couldn’t look back at you. 

Because I can’t be trusted with where my thoughts went. 

If you could capture me like that in a glance, there was no way I was letting myself disappear in an eye lock that would blow my mind and sear my soul.

Oh the power you have.

You don’t even realize.

Thank you for your existence and breathing intrigue into an ordinary line.

I should have turned back to you.

I should have checked.

What I wouldn’t do to be able to just be able to stare. To drink in every part of you, slowly sipping, falling deeper and deeper.

Until and if we meet again, sweet, succulent elixir in human form, I’ll be sending you love with every repeat of that moment you so graciously shared your soul unbeknownst to you.
