Time slipped
Everyone slowed
The shoppers
The lovely women in blue
The husband
The wife
Even the kids
My heartbeat
Counted the seconds
1...2...3
My breath stopped
Her eyes met mine
1...2...
Smile
1...
The world sighed

I closed my eyes
And let go

Floating
Dreaming
Silent

Green eyes
Blond hair
Ruby lips
Faded meadow
Ash fall forest
Black teeth
Spent smile
Faded youth
Gray hearts
She's not alone
She's not alone
Ages past
She wasn't alone

Breathe
Time again
Shopping
Circling
The woman in blue walks by
And caught my eye
