Passing By

by Amanda Bee   Apr 1, 2005


Walking down the road
On a warm summer's day
Traffic zooming by her
As she strolls along her way

Popping her gum loudly
Staring at her feet
She looks up for a moment
And in that moment their eyes meet

Steadily approaching her
Is the man of her dreams
She takes a sharp inhale of breath
As difficult as it seems

Her pulse begins to quicken
Her palms are getting wet
The sensation in her belly
Makes her brow begin to sweat

He’s staring at her too
Staring deeply into her eyes
Her knees begin to weaken
She feels completely paralyzed

Captured by his eyes
She envisions their wedding day
She feels her hand inside his hand
Can hear the vows that they must say

Imprisoned by his gaze
She can feel his heart against her own
Can feel his lips upon her neck
Can hear the passion in her moan

Entangled in his stare
She can feel their happiness; she’s so amazed
Can feel the pride within her chest
For the children they have raised

Hypnotized by his look
She cherishes the memories that they share
Completely comfortable at his side
Adoring the gray that’s in his hair

And then the moments over
They pass by with a fleeting glance
She wants to tell him what she’s seen
But doesn't dare to take the chance

Oh how she hopes he felt it too
Images of ‘what could be’ in his eyes
Within the depths of a stranger
That she met while passing by
