I fell in love with a stranger

I saw you from across the gym and the second my eyes laid on you I knew I was never going to be the same.

Is it possible to fall in love with a stranger, because I think I just did.

Your posture resembled the self-confidence that filled your *****

Your hair a blonde hue that I have never been attracted to before.

How could it be, you already have a piece of me.

 

I couldn’t take my eyes off of you, you see.

For you were already starting to seep into me.

Maybe it was the idea that I can feel love like this, for someone I don’t even know.

Or maybe it is that I looked into your blue eyes from across the room and felt like I knew you.

 

My emotions were wired, and my thoughts gambled.

I had to remind myself  how to walk and remember that staring in awe isn’t generally socially acceptable.

I can’t believe I just fell in love with a stranger.

 

You tossed the basketball with such grace, it sliding off your fingers so effortless. Your shoulders broad and your stamina grounded.

The way you slid across the floor so smoothly chasing after the ball that went perfectly into the net.

 

When the smile grew on your face as your friend shot the ball, my soul felt warm as I looked into the happiness of yours.

Your teeth, strategically placed by God’s fingers. Resembling how perfect we will all soon be.

I can’t believe this is me.

 

Falling in love with a stranger, what else is new.

The second I saw you I knew

My confidence was back and I began to come to life again.

 

So maybe you were an angel sent from God.

Teaching me that I still do have hope.

Showing me that my heart is still in enough pieces to love.

What ever the case and outcome of this, I feel happy.

I feel at peace that maybe, just maybe, someday I will lay eyes on someone and know they will embrace me for the rest of eternity.
