The Space Between

"Oh my God...don't leave.  Stay there...I'll be right back," I think to myself.

But you're gone when I come around the corner again.  I blew it.  I lost you and that was probably my last chance encounter........

You're back!  Oh thank God!  Did you need help?  Were you interested in those shoes?  When I said your name, were you taken aback by my stained memory of meeting you 7 months ago?  You talked to me anyway for a good long while.  I skipped lunch and stayed there leaning on that bench, holding me up while you recounted snippets of your life.  If I suggest we see each other again, not so haphazardly, will you agree or politely decline?  Do I possess the strength to form the words?  Just as our lives are waiting to entwine on the tip of my tongue, you bid farewell......
