Ok this is a leap into the future… many years ahead…
The theme goes something like this some years later when our jobs are really high flying and we have no time to sit and look back... we are sometimes faced with situations that force us to think of the good old times … of what we were and what we have left behind… a lot of dreams and adrenaline rushes… friends and loved ones… the inspiration is from a waiting area in an airport where I saw a face I thought I knew… and then the chain of thoughts started…
Saw her in the lounge
Aeons later…
She looked the same
Somehow a bit younger
She had a spring in her step
Time had treated us differently
How unfair…
My heart warmed again
Like it had a few years ago
I felt like a teenager again
And I knew I wasn’t one anymore
My eyes sparkled
And I tried so hard to stop
The silly smile developing on the edges
And the loud beats…lest someone hear
My son stood besides me
Hormones raging in his teenage veins
And lack of experience to hide
Clearly showing in his gape
The sparkle in his eyes
The smirk
Reminded me of me
Some few years ago
And after a few trips
To quench his pretence caffeine thirst
A few stumbling steps later
He asked her to coffee
And I felt a hand on my shoulder
Making me quiver in the same way…
We stood there staring into each other
Like we did years ago
“Isn’t it just like us”, she said and smiled…
