Felipe...

OK, so we all get crushes from time to time. This was penned after the last time I saw him in the street...

Felipe

Quiet. Shy. Yet smoldering of inner strength and beauty. You are a subdued calm with resolve.

You pass me by, on your way to work, or to visit a friend perhaps... Still - you pass me by.

My breath pauses. I drink in your image, and the scent of you as you drift past. 

I sigh.

Left only with the lingering reactions of your presence, my pulse returns to normal.

Your smile captures my mind, and it wonders what lies beyond its subtle warmth. Do you long for another in the same way that I long for you?

For now, I must make do with brief flashes of you in my life - lest I become a stalker, or the luckiest man on the planet...
