we met
by happenstance
friendly banters
you and i
fellow escapees
from the festivities
two strangers
drawn in
one and a half feet apart
two steps up
but eye to eye
the easy flow of conversation
palpable yet friendly connection
something came over me
as the ride was arriving
i asked to stay in touch
and handed my phone over
not knowing it will lead to
a whirlwind of moments
inexplicable
transcendental love
like nothing before
not to last
but to be savoured
it ended
as the wind settled
both forever altered
by this chance encounter
