Chanced Meeting
 by PirateBurn (pirate_burn@yahoo.com)

Sakura in the fading sunlight
A smile.....
Something about a faded memory
Bids me to stay awhile.

Sakura in the afternoon wind
A glimmer in your eye
Brings back pictures in my mind
I thought I'd lost in time.

Sakura in the tangles of your hair
Inside my soul--Such pain!
Avert my eyes and walk away
Pretend I don't know your name.

Sakura swirling in the springtime air,
Down the dark walkway where all men must go;
And ignore the urge to turn around and--
Pretend you are someone I do not know.

NOTES: I had no-one in mind when I wrote this... well, that would be 
lying... it was, weirdly, Duo and Heero, although no shounen-ai/yaoi/whatever
involved. Just, you know, friendly parting... Heero POV.

KnM: She really is straight to the end...*sweatdrop*
