Poetry? Funny.

I knew when I first discovered you online
That a laptop screen wouldn't ever be enough
To fulfill a "relationship"...at whatever level.
Our commonalities seemed too profound
Our personalities too aligned
For friendship to halt at a computer keyboard.

I put the idea of meeting you out of my head
You who are too busy and lost in your own world
To invite another variable into the equation.
But there you were,
You who I would have stared at even if I hadn't recognized you,
You who have a deep and mysterious aura, attractiveness
Captured in a picture but magnified in real life.

Somehow my desire didn't wane or flourish
Simply because my mind was consumed...
A rush of thoughts: questions and confusion
Replaced 'normal' attraction and desire.

With my eyes I followed yours,
As you checked out another your gaze hit mine.
Did you recognize? Did you see? How could you,
Me, just another face in a nameless crowd,
You who asserted that "you wont find anything more than friends in me."

Oh, the profundity of small moments in time.
I learned in that second why we would probably never connect,
Two people so alike that our same yet separate worlds
would never collide...
Two parallel universes that, according to the definition of //,
would never cross.
