Chemistry
Chemistry You came into my line of visionAt an awkward angleI turned quickly to see youand we fell into a tangle Possessions scatteredacross the floorIf I remember correctlyI believe I swore Too busy to look upGathering possessionsFinally, our eyes metQuite an impression Your face magnifiedI felt the chemistryWhat is happening?Is this my destiny?
