i didnt know if i was back in time, or if i was in the present in another demension, or perhaps even lost in a world between heaven and earth. i was walking through a park and i saw a thin young
man sitting on a bench. all i could see were his eyes at first. although they had lost some of their sparkle, they were still a bright blue and they were full of depth, as if they held the answers to the mysteries of the world. something told me to walk closer, and i did. his head was bowed slightly andhis hands were folded under his chin. he was nervous, as if he was afraid ofbeing seen, afraid that someone would recognize him. and as i approached him, i realized that it was elvis. he saw me looking at him and for a moment
looked scared, as if i was one of those girls who ran up to him screaming and tearing at his clothes.
i was so shocked and amazed and happy....but the look on his face was just the opposite. and i swore those blue eyes could read right into me, could tell what i was feeling, could see the love and admiration i had for him. so he smiled at me and i had never before seen such beauty. it was a whole-hearted smile, but a somewhat tired and weary one....tired of fame and money and people and life altogether. i
stood there for a moment, wondering what to do. all i had ever wanted was to meet him, to hear that voice of gold speak to me just once, to let him know how much passion i had for him. but as i stood there, i thought that maybe it would mean more to him if i cared enough to say nothing at all, to just let him be. so i walked on. and as i walked away from everything i had ever hoped and dreamed, the smile on his face grew. i heard him whisper, "thanks kid, thanks for understanding. i thought nobody could."
