At a music festival Among sixty thousand others I managed to spot you We both knew the other Would be here, But figured there'd be Too many people, Too large of a crowd And not enough cell phone Service to go around, To bother trying to find the other Especially since we haven't spoken Since, well, you know But here you are. Eight rows of people ahead Through the most perfectly spaced gap I spot your face Turned slightly to the right Of where I am standing I watch you laugh at what A friend behind you said You cut your hair just the way I like it And your smile still Makes me go weak at the knees It's this moment that people write books about, paint pictures of, this moment filmmakers write whole screenplays revolving around Where two people make eye contact from across a crowd, and instantly the spark is ignited, or reignited, and their fate is written, the opening to their love story that, without their control, is set in stone, perfectly planned out stepping stones that lead to happily ever after But you never turned my way And we never made eye contact And my text that said I see you! :) Didn't go through until Hours later I guess this wasn't our moment. our relapse our love story. I guess this means we really are not m e a n t t o b e
