i dreamt of you last night.
 
that i went in search of you. Looking in places where I thought you would be at. But instead, I met a heapful of those you normally find yourself with. They did not have the slightest clue where you would be at. I found myself lost.. not meaning to be where I was at, but only wanting to see you there.

typical. where are you anyways.
 
out of nowhere.. when my mind's being tickled by all ordeals.. you tickle my arm. In the midst of an ocean here in the orchard crowd. You stroke my arm. I'm not at one with my present physical location and not physically aware of the floods of people brushing by me. With the pushing and shoving that is present all around.. I detach my being from the hustle and bustle, my present state of mind stuck in the clouds.. making plans for an already busy weekend ahead.. shuffling in a space of my own amidst the asian population surrounding me.

You touched me. And I snapped back to reality.

Tugged out of a surreal enchantment.. your brown hand like a golden path leading my trail of thoughts from the setting skies.. back to the urban tunnel I pace through. My eyes travel from the base of your wrist.. leading my thoughts from hurried obligation.. to the gentleness of your smile.

My world lights up.  

Have I told you before what a beautiful smile you have?   It glows in the darkest of night. Like a bout of fireflies on the coldest of nights, guiding my heart into the palm of your hand. And thats where is stays.. pending your will.. one that leaves my heart to skip a beat each time you smile.

And your eyes..
 
they twinkle in the dimness we find ourselves in. In a spilt second, in the time frame needed for a humbling bird to flap its wing once to stay afloat in the still air.. everything around me goes hush.. numb and silent. As I am flooded with your gentle presence, whilst I dwell in this moment of meeting you.


I miss you.
