My Darling…
Still I am astounded. When first you came into view, I knew you, yet you were a complete stranger. Still you were so familiar; so known to me. Is it no wonder that I fell so easily? It feels like you have always been in my heart.

Canadian writer and poet, Christy A. Martine
I spent
my days
waiting
for you,
searching
the crowds
for your face.
I stopped
breathing
the moment you
recognized me,
as you
captured
my soul
with your gaze.
