The one that got away!

Someone said once to me "If you don't stop and see what’s around you? You can miss something profound"

I was on an escalator on the underground going up to catch another tube.
The escalators were long and steep especially on a busy Friday evenings commuting.
I usually look at the diverting adverts, whilst waiting for the stairs to move me up or down. Today I decided to look at the opposite side of the escalator.
Today was different I had wore a smile that I could not shake.
I was half way up the steep escalators, I could have slipped? I could have fallen?
Not today I had the smile on today.
I see a lovely young lady crossing paths with me I’m still wearing my smile!
She smiles back, we lock eyes for a glimmer for a second the escalator slows down as for her too. No one exists in our bubble of connection. Our heads are locked in motion as we move in a non stoppable manner.
I start to move my body around as she moves her body in my direction.
Did I know her, did she know me?
Questions that faded away without answers, as our opposite paths moved further away into a distant memory forgotten.
Will I ever see her again more questions that will never be answered!
