Just like today

On a Friday after photography lesson

Today I saw him

Standing there 

right in front of me 

I was dumbfounded 

answering him 

Without a voice

I could see his eyes 

That’s all focus

And the whole world 

Was blurred 

Like an illusion 

I spoke about 

To my pupils

A couple of hours before

My eyes had captured that illusion of the eyes that met back with me. Many memories flashed  in shutter speed within my head.

The day he hid his cigarette 

The days I couldn’t leave after saying bye

The days I couldn’t wait to get another chance to see him

The days I was opposite him 

Near but far 

Just like today...
