Love at First Sight by Wislawa Szymborska.
Part 1 of 2.
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, these 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.
