Let us assume, a hypothetical situation

In this town called Whoopsindale, there lived a girl whose name rhymed with Daisy and a guy who was called Dave. One day, the two crossed each other on a street which had an urchin showing ball tricks and a little kid chasing a balloon. He looked at her. She pretended not to notice. They walked closer. She put her disobedient tress behind her ear and and feigned a smile into the space behind him. Moments passed, their feet walked them away from each other. He turned back. She did not.

Is it him? she asked herself.

She did not turn back. She did not know.

She's an idiot!

If it's him... you'll see him again, and again... until the master's plan is executed.

When she did not turn back, how does she know that he turned back?

like the enigmatic 'guy on the bus'.. if it's meant to be it'll happen again, this time maybe she'll stop and say 'hi'!

Which is why I say- Always, *always* wear sunglasses.

But Dave is smart
Dave is handsome
And modest too
To wear his ring.

thetis - if she had turned back, it would have been him. since she didn't, it wasn't. it's in the beginner's guide to over-rationalisation for self-satisfaction!

twodrinkstoonetoomany - that was a lovely bit of poetry.
