A Chance Encounter

I entered the room and there you were.. Sitting at a table with friends.. Your eyes dancing with laughter... Your smile full of child like amusement... I was instantly attracted to the ease with which you held your space in time... Comfortable within your manliness.. Yet a little vulnerable within your beingness... I felt the need to connect with you... To share our ideas, experiences, desires and our passions... As I allowed my mind to fantasize...I could feel you lying beside me.. Cradling my body, protecting and shielding me with your strength and wisdom... Should I go and introduce myself? Should I allow my fears and uncertainties keep me from allowing the.. per chance encounter? Could this be love sitting across the room from me? Or just an illusion... Do I take a risk or let it pass out of my life... The moment gone forever... Taking a sip of wine..enjoying the flavor and sensation entering my body...I slowly rise.. Our eyes meet and we smile.. Excitement running through my veins... and then.. I walk out the door
