Quietly he watches saying not a word, observing, studying her
completely unaware
he closes his eyes for what seems only a second
overwrought with sensation he jerks them open again
feeling transparent, knowing she will see him if he continues
he flees, then stops......
a moment passes, a few
he turns and walks towards her
she glances up to see him blocking the sun from her eyes
then she smiles and every word he had ever imagined saying to her disappears
then without warning he says
if dreams come true and fairy tales exist
tell me how then is it you escaped and persist,
she laughs caught unaware of what her response should be
bending to one knee he stretches out his hand
towards hers
catching the surprise in her eyes he gently smiles
and says Don’t look away
Took me a long time to find you
Give me a chance, a moment to gaze
Out of breath and in a daze
She nods his way
