Stranger Poem by Jean jacques M. Dhybondo

I saw a girl today,
She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen,
So beautiful I couldn't face her smile.
I had my eyes on her when suddenly she looked at me
With this kindness I felt ages ago,
Wow, she almost got my heart pounding again.
I was there standing,
Speechless and still like a stone, for a while time stopped.
My heart was beating so fast,
I thought it'll jump out of my chest.
Somehow, I realized; no woman has ever looked at me the way she did,
Even those I once was crazily in love with.
She was there,
Right in front of me and I couldn't see anything else but her,
Filling all my space, all my world, my universe...
She smiled at me and all my strength vanished like a smoke in the air,
I felt weak, very weak in my knees,
For a minute I thought my feet weren't touching the ground,
I looked aside, shy and ashamed to be;
Then in this confused second,
my lost courage was somehow given back to me,
I turned to her with words in my heart and mouth...
She was gone; I looked around hoping to see her shadow in the dark,
Gone, vanished without a trace.
