the glimpse of a smile

you don't know her that good,
and you meet her only now and then,
and whenever you look at her,
you have to confess yourself,
it feels remarkably good.

the shared look for a glimpse,
it's the new center of universe,
a short magical moment,
but being burned into mind.

as every moment fades away,
you fall back into reality.
all the magic has gone,
and you realize with a sad certainty
the famous lines of Mr. E:

"trouble with dreams is they don't come true
and when they do they can't catch up to you."
