What if you saw someone
and wondered about them,
What if it was on the subway
where you saw this person,
and what if when you got
off at your stop, they did also...

He was able to make out
each step she was making
towards the subway exit,
Sharing each step & each stair.
There was no takin his eyes
off her, but he did it at
a distance to keep his cool.
And in a SPLIT second, after
his name was shouted by a friend,
he lost site of her,
lost each step with her & what
has been on his mind all this time.
*
With each step she made,
thoughts were crossing her mind,
Whether or not he was behind
her or if he went the other direction.
She could also feel a presence outside
her own, which lead her to believe... he there.
or is he... as a the wind from the subway entrance
blows her hair back, she pauses for a second,
as she feels as if maybe that wind did more then blow
her hair back, but maybe it blew away that presence,
she looks back and he not... there
wind left this for another time, another place.
*
They both continue on their own ways, both thinking
and wondering, if something was meant to of happened,
if they were to meet, maybe this was a one time thing,
that maybe it was my stop, but not his/hers.
Her walk has lead her to her apartment, and him, to his
and the elevator door closes, ending another day,
his continues, as he rushes to get a closing elevator,
she presses her floor button... and a hand stops the door...
