I hope you saw me
if only for a moment
hoped that we locked eyes and you felt the same passing of shared memories and moments
all jumbled together, rushing in and through time
in that small window
reminding you of smiles

I hope it was you
in that stolen moment
where time stood still and we locked eyes
where built up walls offered no protection and you
and i
all that we were meant to be
mingled in the air
leaving me overwhelmed with the thought of you
consumed by the memories
those haunting eyes
that sly smile
drawing me in
unlocking doors
making me forget all i promised to never show

i hope you saw me
stuck in line
frozen

and more than anything else
i hope you felt something
if only for a moment
if only a sliver of what i felt
i hope there was a pang
some heart string
or misplaced memory that came rushing back

and i hope it made you pause
take note
sigh
something
anything

because you linger in the edges
you haunt me when i'm not careful
and i want to know
i left some kind of mark on you
