Lingering On

Your eyes whispered "have we met?" 

Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

-Enchanted, Taylor Swift

We were strangers, our paths uncrossed before we finally crossed pavements.

Your eyes caught mine as we glanced at each other at the supermarket aisle. At that tick of that time, you seemed like any other average boy I've been meeting in my entire life. We exchanged names and shook hands. And we went from strangers to acquaintance. 

 It was that day. When the sun was blaring on that tremendously burning hot day by the shore at the sandy beach. The warm crisp yet smooth sand burying our bare feet. The seagulls sounding and the waves tiding low. Your grin was unintentionally inviting me to know you better. 

You started teasing me and we started to get along. I like it when we greet each other with me playfully kicking you and you chuckling at it. Or when your lips curved into such an adorable mocking grin whenever I say something silly. It's like we just had a connection the moment we crossed each other. And my heart would just lighten up when your eyes caught mine.

You paint a smile across my face like no boys ever could. You tickled my hysterical laughter which has been trapped for too long. You let our playful conversations flow and made me feel so easy. You asked me to sit with you and we sat together side by side, staring at the screen, continuously chuckling like little kids. We made childish jokes and wore grins at each other. I simply enjoyed every single moment with you, even if they lasted so shortly.

Has anyone ever told you, how infectious your smile is? I whispered to my friend that if there were to ever come a time if I had to spend my days to go star gazing, sweet coffee dates and finally fall in love, I want to share it with someone like you. Because you make me feel a certain spark I've never felt before. I continuously keep wondering if you feel the same too, because maybe you are simply just nice to everyone.

I wished I asked you to share a dance with me on the last night. I wished I could get to know you more. I wished I was granted with more time to create more memories with you. I wished that it didn't had to last for such awhile. I wished we didn't had to part ways so early. Like our paths just intersected briefly before being separated again. I wish that someday, maybe we could cross paths once again. 

Our final moments, you held me in your arms and murmured softly that it was nice meeting me. How I wished I told you that I was so enchanted to meet you.

And I'll spend forever, wondering if you knew..
