I saw you again,
almost impossibly, almost too coincidentally. It was fate, wasn't it?
With closed eyes, I hoped to see you, and the next minute, you stood there.
My heart fluttered
—as cliche as it sounded
—so sincerely.
I saw you again,
and I wondered what would happen
if I went up to talk to you.
I wanted to hug you,
and tell you how much I missed you.
I wanted to ask you
if you are okay;
if you have a girlfriend.
— Or do you feel the same as me?
I saw you again,
but I let the chance
slip out of my hands.
I let you go.
I watched you run.
I saw you again,
but I don't think you saw me.
Even though we alighted at the same stop,
I was behind you and,
you were right in front,
running to somewhere I couldn't reach you.
I saw you again,
and you looked like an angel.
(Today, I saw the most handsome boy ever.)
Tall; sturdy back; you were gorgeous.
Long jeans; Vans sneakers; dark blue shirt;
you have always been beautiful in my eyes.
I saw you again, but I didn't talk to you.
---------- How are you?
Do you remember me?
Do you have a girlfriend and do you love her?
Do you miss me?
Do you still like me?
Do you think we could—you know—be together, finally?
I saw you again,
but I wasn't brave enough.
I saw you again,
and I hope to see you again.

This is the sad story of today's afternoon.
I went for my previous school's carnival, in hopes of seeing my crush/first love. And I did, on the bus after I left school. But I don't think he saw me. We even alighted at the same stop but he ran off under the rain. I assumed he was going to church. But I lost the chance to talk to him. I was contemplating whether to go up to him, talk to him and hug him or let him and this chance go. I chose the latter.
P.S I like you, I still do. I don't think I have ever stopped.
