There's a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan.
It doesn't mean love at first sight. It's closer to love at second sight. It's the feeling you get when you meet someone that you're going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don't love them right away, but it's inevitable that you will.

I'm pretty sure that's what I'm experiencing right now. The only slight problem is that I'm pretty sure that she does not feel the same.

It's funny how our lives are intertwined in so many ways and yet I get to watch hers on the sidelines. Like the first time when I saw her clutched to those machines all I could do was watch her and not touch her face, her smile. The way she walks away from me thinking I am some ghost, a stranger, stares like I am wrongly put to her direction maybe all of it is true because I am part of her story a part of her, not her story. Part of the past inconsequential but salient, I just wish that she remembers the little details, the prepossessing moments.
I just wish that she looks at me like...., I don't know maybe I just want to be noticed not by everyone or anyone, but her.

Writer's Blog:

I fell in love the moment I met you.
I fell harder the moment I heard you.
I fall for you a bit more everyday.
If loving you was a cliff then falling is like walking in my favorite street.
