I ask god for one chance encounter
An accidental
rendezvous
Maybe in a
flight
Or an elevator
In a meeting
room
Or a waiting
room
A tryst
A truthful
confrontation
A surge of
emotions
Controlled
exterior
Uncontrollable
inside
Questions
answered
Truths revealed
Love requited
Thirst quenched
Maybe in the
rains, drenched
Maybe in the
snow of faraway lands traveled
Stuck together
Accidentally
Alone
For a day
Or maybe just 5
minutes
But 5 honest
minutes
Looking each
other in the eye
Not lying
Not denying
Not hurrying
Nor worrying
Not waiting for
something to happen
For it is
happening in that moment
And then the
place, the time
Become
insignificant
Time stops for
those 5 minutes
Maybe time goes
backwards
And starts all
over again
Will we make the
same mistakes
We are star
crossed fools
We will probably
make the same mistake again
But we didn’t
regret it then
We won't regret
it now
Will you smile,
will you cry
Will I rise,
will I fall
Will you look at
me differently?
Now that time
has passed
And I am better,
and I am worse
Will you
recognize me?
Will I look at
you differently?
Will you become nothing?
Or will you
still remain everything
One accidental
rendezvous
Is all I ask for.
