You were looking onto the oncoming traffic, waiting to cross to the other side and I watched you from across the street, my heart nearly skipping a beat.
You didn't look in my direction but I was captivated by your beauty and I just knew, that I had fallen in love with you.
I needed to cross the road but I couldn't take my eyes off of you so I stood there, frozen waiting for you to come to me.
Your face looked forlorn as you crossed and then you paused, finally looking at me.
It was just a glance but I saw your soul reflected through your eyes and innocence so pure that it took me by surprise.
So much was said in that one glance. Such ambiguous intensity, both invasive and vulnerable—glittering black, bottomless and opaque. 422Please respect copyright.PENANA5xkTrLMokF
You looked back and forth, here and there as if deciding where to go, it looked like you didn't have a place to call home.
I couldn't wait anymore, so I took the first step to say hello, you gave me a sidelong glance with suspicion and raised a brow.
But I knew a perfect way to get through you and I asked you to "stay right here." As I sprinted to the nearest shop and bought a packet of Rusk toast and several plain biscuits, and sprinted back to where I left you, to find you gone.
Tears pricked my eyes as I looked up and down the street, left and right down the lane but I couldn't find you.
Swallowing a lump, I dragged my feet to my way back home.
Up ahead, I spot you again, happily sniffing through a pile of spilled trash can, your satisfied smile like a ray of sunshine.
Squatting not far away from you I opened a packet of biscuit hoping to get your attention.
Tail wagging, tongue flapping and ears soaring, you came running to me, I knew it! I knew the way to your heart was through your stomach.
I watched you eat, as I petted your coat, white as sheet.
You closed your eyes relishing my touch, I wanted to take you in my arms so so much.
I let you go and you turned to go.
I watched you trot away from me, but then you stopped and looked back at me as if I was your Christmas tree.
"Woof woof", you said smiling at me, then you came back rushing to me and licked my feet, the love in your eyes nearly knocking me to my knees.
I knew then that I had found my happily ever after in you, bending down I gave you a tight squeeze.
As I write, memories swirling in my mind, tears blurring my vision thinking about all the times I fell in love at the first sight.
