I found you as you walked by
and as you walked by I captured you in my mind
holding on to the very possibility
of Love that will culminate into our children's lullabies
my fingers wished to run along your scalp
and they did, in my mind's eye
all this from the moment I captured you
You saw me
as you walked by
there was a flicker of a smile
but those beautiful lips never uttered the word hi
still I believe in the possiblity
that you and me can equal us
falling under the category of love and not lust
I thought of you
as the days passed by
replaying our moment each day in my mind
thinking how it was possible
matter of fact I was almost sure
because falling for a man on sight
for me had never been possible
that is until the day I saw you
Your days probably remained the same
after all you didn't stop to say hi
or ask my name
I understand that you not thinking of me is probable
even though you loving me I believe is possible
because when I put us together in my mind
The love we'll share will be unstoppable
7 days later I stand and wait
7 days before I stood in the same place
not even questioning why cause this is fate
Spotting you long before I should
watching as you make your approach
and as you walk by I offer a smile
your brown eyes then focus on my face
Hi you say as you walk away
and now my mind has captured your voice
and my minds telling me that 7 days from now your hi will be hello
so now I'm sure
of love cuminating into our children's lullabies
is 7 days closer to being possible
