She looked at him in awe
and saw her past revisited,
she looked at him hopefully
and saw her uncertain future.
He just looked at her intently
and saw only the present.
And it is now, years later,
she lives only in the present
while he thinks of their past
and still regrets not finding her
in his bright, promising future.

Nothing odd about this. It rings of the truths we see in our everyday life when we meet people and wonder how they will fit in our lives filled with so much uncertainty. Well said as ususal.
