when the world spins in the opposite direction
There has always been a quiet attraction between the two of them. Though ever since they met they have always had other people in their lives. And circumstances proved to tear them apart farther and farther, each one moving to other towns in opposite directions from their starting point.
Random gatherings always brought them back into each others presence. Hugs exchanged, eye contact made, but never a mention of feelings past, or feelings hidden. Neither one really sure if they truly existed. It was always just something slight in the air. And they both let it hang there, knowing that these few hours would be spent catching up before parting ways again.
And both would don those all-telling smiles that spoke only to each other. Perhaps in another life time, at another juncture, something would have come of it all. But tonight, she would only walk her to her car, make sure she got in safely, and let the air clear before their next encounter.
