Moments

I didn't know until our paths crossed  
That love and all the baggage that comes  
along for the ride can be so dammed beautiful  
and painful at the same time. All those years  
faded away so quickly that it feels like it was  
yesterday. I remember the first time you popped
up In the background all quiet, I shouldn't have  
noticed you, But I did. You wanted something,  
We swapped a trade. The mystery within you and  
me began to seed. Various moments you would appear  
like a apparition then fade from site. A slight  
intrigue,call it a flickering light switched on  
a soft glow within. A lost soul is what I remember  
thinking, A sadness within you portrayed, I  
remember I spoke of this of what I saw within you.  
Then vanish you did, I didn't notice at first,  
The festive period had me consumed, But you were  
somewhere there in my head though small in its  
development. So fragile in it's growth that it's  
death before it could grow was all but written  
in the stars, And none the wiser we would have  
been. The weeks past the interest though slight  
stayed to fade away in its own passing. But for  
some unknown reason fate hadn't finished just yet.  
I remember the day,The date and the time, even where  
I was and what I was doing. I remember even now what  
we spoke of after all these years past I still remember,  
Be cool I said several times like we were going to do  
something that we shouldn't. Our likes and dislikes we  
exchanged our names typed out with ease. I never
believed it, Though why on earth I didn't still gets
me debating even now, I had no reason not to. The
intrigue grew, The seed of fate started to move and
kick as the days and weeks wore on. Intrigue grew
tall in it's mystery with this new thing called
infatuation took up it's battle lines. Somethings
just didn't add up, somethings were hidden very well
for reasons I was yet to discover.Dates and times
were never written but I remembered them all. Summer
approached with speed, That date several times, why
that day in particular. On the screen on that day,
by chance. Like old bombers giving up their payload
something clicked, all becoming clear,Deeply saddened,
A realisation, Maybe I should have walked away, My
life moved on in real time. But we held on, Sometimes
brief, sometimes longer. Infatuation passed and love
grew, Was it one sided? This I didn't know and maybe
I will never know the route to your heart, I think
I touched it a few times and maybe now we feel the
same. I don't dwell too much on this. love and all
the baggage that comes along for the ride can be so
dammed beautiful and painful at times.
