Thinking

Thinking of him takes me back to a place when I was happiest

A time and place when trouble was a matter that didn't concern me,

My childhood...oh how sweet!

When my one and only concern was what should I eat!

This was before the reality of growing up and upcoming adulthood hit me like a ton of bricks

And becoming an adult seemed like a lifetime away...

His Reflection

As I stared at his perfect reflection through the display window

It was like time stood still for what felt like an eternity

I was frozen in the moment

I had a thousand thoughts running through my head,

Appearing in my head and fleeting just as quickly…

“It was never meant to happen like this!”

“Why today of all days?”

As I stood there with my brain running like a Gatwick Express train

My heart started to beat faster and faster until I could hardly hear myself think

I should have walked away then and there but I continued to stare at his perfect reflection
