So you met someone for a drink.
You chatted a lot of things over the course of the drink.
From time to time, you stole glances at his eyes.
Until suddenly, your eyes caught his.
And then your heart started beating faster and faster, with your eyes locked onto those bright, soulful eyes that seem to whisper a thousand million things to you at the same time.
That 5 seconds lasted like an eternity, because it felt so good to be able to look into another person’s eyes without being shy, intimidated, or fear of being rejected.
And then it was over.
And you were able to think logically again as you built back up your barrier, and started to wonder, was that all you’d ever get? Would that 5 seconds be the closest thing to intimacy that you’d ever get from this person whom you just met?
I don’t know about others, but I do know I’d know when I meet someone that I really do like, it’s when I meet that someone who can give me this 5 seconds of unlimited possibilities.
