Ài
I had almost forgotten about her, the long-haired girl who had once taken my full attention. Yet, there she was. Once again, taking my full-blown attention. It looks like, as hilarious as the cliché may seem, the universe indeed has its very own way of working. Today, I saw her again, struggling with a paying customer at the coffee shop where she works. I don't know, I felt like someone was tickling both of my feet. I felt like a surge of electrical current went through me when my eyes met her beautiful eyes. I immediately looked at my phone, fumbling with none existing tasks, looking at my own whimsical reflection, avoiding her gaze, pretending to be busy. Trying to soothe my untamed heartbeats. I returned my silent gaze to her on the sly. It's been forever since I saw her, yet she remains as charming as when I met her five years ago. Unconditionally unchanging. In a good way. In the best way, even. Because I liked her back then, and I like her even more so now.
