Knowing

I found you more appealing today

I don't know why 

but I saw you

and the effect was like air when you cannot breathe.

I've seen you a hundred times this way and never noticed.

The way you stood softly around the edges, smiling at your shoes.

Our eyes met briefly from across the room 

you gave me a knowing look.

I took a sip of my drink and smiled. 

We both knew I was going over there, it was only a matter of time. 

All the words that needed to be said were exchanged in that look..

I don't know why,

but I saw you.
