Sudden

It started all of the sudden.
Not when the sun sets, not when the first snow fell. It was when the time moved clockwise, trashing all of the plans I have made.

You and I were the representative of each poles. You who stayed North. I who lived South. But like an eclipse, you and I met as the moon aligned with the sun, creating perfect symmetries.

It started all of the sudden.
Not when our eyes met, no, but when I first glanced but never stared. My eyes didn't want to linger, those eyes that might betray me without me knowing.

But with the right angle, those glances turned into stares, those stares went straight for the eye, searching for something. Looking for the stars I once wished upon.
