My heart stopped a beat <br />A deep breath to bring me back <br />You right in front of me within a few feet <br />No warning, not a clue …. The feeling of a heart attack <br /> <br />Thoughts, memories rushing like a raging river <br />Fighting with my mind to acknowledge you <br />Pausing, contemplating on the line I would deliver <br />I bid all common sense adieu <br /> <br />Deep breath…. Working hard are you? <br />Stunned, shocked …. Good grief was all you good speak <br />Your heart began to race, your very breath taken as you turned blue <br />And then it all started over…. With one small kiss upon my cheek<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-encounter-with-the-past/
