i believe in connection at first sight.
those moments so deep that everything goes silent.
and the silence is so loud and so still and so..right, that the most beautiful words no longer matter.

the kind where you can sit for hours and utter not a single word,
but leave feeling as if you had just recited the most magnificent conversation in the history of human existence.

on your way home your vision becomes tunneled and the previous moments consume you continuously.
lights of cars zooming by become vibrant long streams providing coinciding imagery to your repetitive thoughts.
and you pick out a single frozen mental frame to keep within you of the new visage that has altered your consciousness.

days, weeks, months, perhaps years, or even decades, pass,
and you may never be in each others presence again,
but that feeling, that moment, that connection...never subdues, never leaves.

it's in those instances when you feel that there must be something beyond here.
or at least something behind here. another realm, another life.

when the two of you were once lovers.
