We are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound us together...
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but uncertainly is more beautiful.

Because we didn’t know each other earlier,
we suppose that nothing was happening between us.
What of the streets, stairways and corridors
where we could have
passed each other long ago?

But I know our answer.
No, we don't remember.
We'd be greatly astonished
to learn that for a long time Chance had been playing with us.

Not yet wholly ready
to transform into fate for us.
It approached us, then backed off,
stood in their way
and, suppressing a giggle, jumped to the side.
