Day 31.

You.

I saw you across the room.
I almost didn't recognize you,
but there was something in the way you... was it the laugh? 
the flip of your hair?
a glimmer in your smile?
So many years have passed, 
but it was you.

All this time,
I've only ever wanted
One more conversation.
One more hug.
One more smile.
Now, seeing you again,
I'm frozen in place.
Speechless.
Helpless.

If I reach out,
you'll disappear.
I'm sure of it.
You won't be the
same as my memory of you.
You will have changed.
How could you not?
So many years.
With nothing but a
vague memory of who you were,
or even who I was then.
But there you are.

Out of the blue.
In this room.
At this time.
