I was walking with my head bent <br />Immersed in faraway thoughts <br />When i felt your presence beside me <br />your hands touched my shoulders lightly <br />My head remained bent <br />when you turned me towards you <br />Your hands lifted my face gently <br />And your lips - formed the words which i wished to hear <br />I could not speak <br />But my eyes mirrored the thoughts of my heart <br />We stood gazing into each other's eyes - mesmerised <br />Time stood still.<br /><br />SUJATA VARMA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-time-stood-still/
