It has been a while since, my heart did a little flutter, a little skipping, and sent a tingling sensation all over the skin, but it did this morning.

In the wee hours of the morning, when the sun has not even decided to wake up the day, at the bus stop, as I was waiting for the bus.... he stood there getting rid of his jacket (it is warmer today), stuffing it into his backpack. The poor ole' heart stopped... I thought it wasn't going to start beating again (gosh.... where has this happened before!). But I think it did, because, then I was out of breath (as if I had run a marathon) and completely tongue-tied. He was in cornflower blue sweater, pale corn colored pants and sneakers that carried the cornflower blue stripes. We clambered into the bus, he sat behind me. I wish I knew what was going on in his head, sitting there behind me. He could have sat anywhere in the whole bus, it was only the two of us and the bus driver. I wish I had courage to ask.......perhaps....I can guess.....he was perhaps thinking about his day, or why on earth is he getting up this early (it is 6AM), or if he is going to catch that bus/train, or about some game or tv show, or his girl friend, fiancĂ© or wife.....

"Achooo", he sneezed, I said "God Bless U".

The bus hurtled down towards its destination. I wish (really wish!) I was given courage, just a little, but I know I wasn't.  

So goodbye Guy in Cornflower Blue. Have a great day! I know I will. Thanks
