Cant take eyes off YOU

Typical rush hour morning, brisking amist the torrent waves of human traffic for my ride. Sights were focused on the route of advancements onwards my bus terminal as the mundane nature of 9 - 5 workers begin their morning rituals. In every stage of achieving and completion of a target / goal / objective, one will most definitely have to travel.

Binocular vision gives us a near 180 degree perspective of the journey infront. How abt the other 180? Maybe thats why they always say there's another side of the coin, or my say; Look on the bright SIDE of life. More than ever, in our ever changing and transforming society, many are swept along by the ever changing tides and more than often enroached, embedded in the rat race. Slow down, you'll see peers overtaking. Feeling left behind, a sense of emptiness or loss may either spur into enlisting amist the chase for admission to the "Creme da la Creme" or jack the hand brakes for a quiet moment. The sad thing is, once you stop, most probably you'll get a stampede of comments getting you back into gear for the material chase.

I have my views on who I wanto be, what I wanto do, what are my commitments and most of the time, an unrealistical challenge towards myself to stay the same; being different from others (Totally self condictary, guess the grey matter within are corrroding). Who doesnt want to shine atop the platform where he / she stands in the limelight, touching the lifes of others. To lead, so much has been said on the different forms of leading ... do I have what it takes?

Getting back on the journey, we keep track on what and who we see in front of us. To avoid the obstacles by making a detour or facing towards the challenges, to hit upon an opportunity or rekindle a historical link? For me, thoughts will just flood the memory banks clouding my motor judgement at times but well I dun walk into lamp post or drains as yet. An eventful day, a glimpse struck me off "PatriX Realm", I got into another focus. First time, my attention was drawn towards an individual. I admit I was guilty of commiting the strict penal codes towards being a stalker. The sides, her back ... yes its a HER, I am just but human right, the testostorones kicked in I guess.

Curtaining amist the bodies, everything was locked on momentarily ... senses, thoughts ... "whose that" I wondered. Like a drama coincident, she halted my queue. Wearing a gentle gaze, basking her face into the aurora's gift with the rays bouncing of the radiance from the soulful eyes. A draft lifted her locks, highlighting the youthful aura of the angelic silhouette.

Wishing the trip will never end, only when the bus stopping for passengers where my concentration will be temporarily tore away for the prevention of missing my destination otherwise the back of hers was infront of my mind. Flowing and winding to the usual route, I was anticipating her alight so I could get a frontal view. But time and again, her fidgets only managed to skip the beats of mine as my wish of getting off together was getting closer ...

Alas, it was time to get over the morning crush ... just as I rose to the spirals down, my prayers were answered. The match played into extra time where I blishfully endow the endomorphines into overtime. Floating n gliding stealthfully, I guess my gigiantic frame took over the role of courage and made notice my presence. Ego taking over, I overtook on the pretence nothing happened at all ... I was like "goodness, you blew it! told ya to shrink down ... did you listen... NO..oo..oo"

Hope has always been mankind's trusty ally for all the ordeals we came by through history, guess fate spared me of a crushed morning. Just as I was able to betray my ally, I forsaked my pride as an egoistic boy pluckered up courage and made a turn to see her for the first and last time.

As she came into view, I was greeted back with a perculiar smile of acknowledgement. Fate's cruel, heaven play tricks, lifes a puzzeling piece of mystery, could u believe that a teen crush was the someone who lighten up my day! A simple greeting embossed with a pint of cowardice, I didnt even got a contact. Then and there, I won and lost ... a milestone till now I wanto document for she was, is and always be the one;

cant take my eyes off YOU
