When I finally see him,I stop short.
As if he feels me looking at him, his eyes find me, and suddenly everything around me seems to melt away. The people are nothing but blurs of colors, the conversation little more than white noise. We are the only two people in the room, and I stand transfixed, my body tingling,mouth suddenly dry.
It is as if this man has cast a spell over me, and I am a willing participant to the enchantment.
I want to bask in the heat that radiates between us. I have been so cold today, my body battered by icy winds and drifting tides. I want to stay here, lost in time. Lost in Him.
But I cannot. There are things to do- things to say. And so I force myself to move. I take a single step forward, and the world around me rushes back into focus, people moving, couples talking, glasses clinking.
But my eyes have not left his face, and I smile in apology and forgiveness. And also in invitation.
