Love at First Sight
by Wislawa Szymborska


They both thought
that a sudden feeling had united them
This certainty is beautiful,
Even more beautiful than uncertainty.

They thought they didn't know each other,
nothing had ever happened between them,
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,
Where they could have met so long ago?

I would like to ask them,
if they can remember -
perhaps in a revolving door
face to face one day?
A "sorry" in the crowd?
"Wrong number" on the 'phone?
- but I know the answer.
No, they don't remember.

How surprised they would be
For such a long time already
Fate has been playing with them.

Not quite yet ready
to change into destiny,
which brings them nearer and yet further,
cutting their path
and stifling a laugh,
escaping ever further;
There were sings, indications,
undecipherable, what does in matter.
Three years ago, perhaps
or even last Tuesday,
this leaf flying
from one shoulder to another?
Something lost and gathered.
Who knows, perhaps a ball already
in the bushes, in childhood?

There were handles, door bells,
where, on the trace of a hand,
another hand was placed;
suitcases next to one another in the
left luggage.
And maybe one night the same dream
forgotten on walking;

But every beginning
is only a continuation
and the book of fate is
always open in the middle.


love is all it's about.-

A level pointing system. my class got 63 odd points, leading the second class by quite a huge gap? sigh. i felt bad. felt bad for pulling my class points and average. im such a horrible person. gosh. shall work hard for promos. maximise the potential of my class. i believe i can do it. pray!!!

anyway, ppl, TIME TO STUDY.u shouldn't be spending ur time slacking or playing away and not spending ur time properly. im not saying u should mug the whole day round, but at least spend some time, times other than those in the timetable, to revise and study ur work. stop living in the past. face the future. no point thinking of how great u were in the past, time has CHANGED. WAKE UP!!!!!

no point staying in the past.-
