It was snowing.
All I could smell was the traffic.
My head pounding and then my heart
when
All I could see in a crowd of faces
was you.
Looking into me as if I were naked.
At one point I wanted to take off all my clothes
Like a person who has let go on ecstacy
my jacket, scarf and boots.
Instead I covered my face.
I looked out the window
into the blanket of white,
thinking
"Where am I?"..." I will know when i get closer"
wondering how much time
we could pass in the same place at once.
Staring at the floor
And then back at you.
My heart was pounding so loud
I thought maybe you could hear it
from where you sat. alone.
I got up to get closer, and you left...
then I smiled.
But I can still see you sitting there...
even after you left.
I could still see you.
