I SEE YOU. DO YOU SEE ME?

The feel of paper distracts blindness, yet I see you.
A rustle of fabric, slapping of your shoes, circle from ear to ear.
My lashes brush against the solidity, yet I see you.
The scent of a man, tobacco mingle, reactive fingers to nose.
The uncontrollable controlled, anxiety ignored, yet still I see you.
Breath passes lips. Hair prickles, goosebumps, a shiver reveals my response.
Who are you?
The mind scans as would a database, frozen I see you.
Reflection.
Combine what was seen, unseen. Senses combine in time.
Refine.
Link the seen, unseen.
Conclude.
Breath deep in. A moment in time is mine.
Silent recall links once more.
Call out your name – you do the same.
A vision unseen greets me.
I see you. Do you see me?
