Three seconds.

In a place occupied by hundreds

his eyes met only mine,

how much coincidence it needs to have

with the same one,

Both looking at each other at the same time

for a fraction of a second although

but thrice??

first time it was accidental

second time it enhanced curiosity

his exceptionally handsome face and chiseled body

Made me look at him for one more time

While he was looking at me already, staring,

this time his eyes inquisitive

Like something he wanted to know more

pure attraction in those three seconds

Seemed ’twas the conspiracy of the divine.
