When I saw him for the first time

I couldn’t make sense of what

I had just seen. I was caught

between a dream too beautiful

to be true and a fixated reality

that looked too unimaginable

for it to really be happening.

In my eyes he was a vision

too perfect to be mimicked,

a person too beautiful and free

to belong to anyone else

but himself. In one look, in one

moment of our eyes crashing

into each other’s future I knew

as well as he did that he was

everything that I’ve been

unconsciously searching for.
