When I went to that golden bridge
I did not expect to feel
A short yet perfect moment
With one I never met nor greeted
I was minding my own business
Taking pictures, capturing moments
With my camera, through its lenses
Trying hard to keep my interest
With my eyes, before I took a picture
Someone passed by
Naturally annoyed, I took a peek
I was taken aback by what greeted me
It was a girl who was looking at me
With her innocent eyes and captivating smile
Capturing me with her gaze like a picture she took of me
Leaving me mesmerized and my heartbeat skipping
The moment lasted for a second or two
But left me wanting it to last forever
And as she walked away with my eyes following
I felt that I fell for her deeper and deeper
It made me want to know her more
Spend a part of my life with her
And if worth it, give my whole life for her
Saying these words as the distance between us grew larger
"I know not your name
Nor the land from which you came
But do know you gave me a moment
Far purer and sweeter than I ever had. Ever.
And though childish, I want to say
I love you, but not as a lover
But as someone you mesmerized forever
And someone who hopes to meet you but knows that that time is never."
As her figure was drowned by the sea of people
At the same great bridge
I turned my back with a smile
Keeping the moment between her and I, hopefully forever.
