This was never planned...

I happened upon you..

Wasn't expecting you...

This was not in my plans.

But you arrived and somehow, you slipped under the radar.

But our clock is not set at the right time.

You're clock and mine click too loudly against each other.

While mine is set at 12 noon, the hands of yours push to 6

The familiarity of your smile and laugh,

As though I may have met you in another time, in another life.

You're presence scares the hell out of me and I know I do the same to you.

It would be easier to write you off...pretend we never met...

settle down in my comfortable place of shutting you out.

And while you choose to take a different journey than I,

And though our paths may only have crossed for a moment.

You have touched me and etched a lovely memory, of "I happened upon you, didn't expect you, this was not in my plans" kind of joy.

And your temporary presence...

Made me smile.
