I  see you on the other side of the street.
And have the urge to cross.
But i'm too shy.
You have your head bowed to your feet.

Your eyes glance my way.
My heart  beats.
Were you going to close the space between us?
What would I say?

In my dreams.
You keep walking.
Oblivious to my fantasy.
A penny on the sidewalk gleams.

I check and see it is heads side up.
My fingers close around the copper.
And as I raise, there you are before me.
I guess a  lucky penny really does bring you good luck.

You smile .

And in the blink of an eye.
I tumble to the ground.
I fainted.
Because you said "Hi."

Guess not.
