When Our Eyes Met Poem by Mario, Lucien, Rene Odekerken

When our eyes met,
the world did not stop-
but something shifted,
a quiet tremor beneath my ribs.

A crowd pressed around us,
voices rising and falling like waves,
yet in that moment,
only silence existed.

I saw something unspoken,
a whisper in your gaze,
a story I did not know,
but somehow recognized.

Time moved forward,
as it always does,
but I stood still,
held by the weight of a single glance.
