Eye to eye

       Suddenly, our gaze wanders through the night, dances in the streets, on a bus, sits at a bar table and stares at other gazes that seem frozen, looking at us too. Perhaps those gazes were wandering through the same spaces until they met, connected by an unknown magnetism; something similar to hypnosis or a vibe drifting in the air.
        This encounter surprises us, and then we understand we are someone’s aim, and we become the attraction. Perhaps, we are not the hunter of gazes, but the victim of someone – the hunted -, even though we imagined we were invisible; the only ones able to detect and catch another’s gaze.
       We are the desired butterfly, while flew without worries through the luminous webs of the night, imagining to be a hidden hunter among other lost gazes. Surprisingly, we were looking for innocent eyes and became the sought-after prey.
       Perhaps, when one face blushes, the other gaze tilts. If the first was surprised, the second seems like the winner. Sometimes, it is a simple, intentional gaze, curious eyes wandering through space. They flutter like butterflies that are not perceiving the danger flowing in the mysterious and seductive night.
       At times, the gaze resists the invasion, but it gets caught by curiosity, and the other, like a hunter, starts pursuing it. It knows that just once that night, the victim will turn its face, and a big smile will appear on its blushing face. Then, the hunters, with a perfect, well-prepared phrase, will pounce and catch the love in the air.
      However, the supposed victims, caught by their curiosity, will not explain that their innocent gazes were actually a trap while they wander through the vibe. They were peering around carelessly, like butterflies fluttering about, driven by the curiosity of knowing where they were.
       Eye to eye is a challenge for those who try to avoid love battles. They are sparks that spread and drown out the sound around them. The world suddenly seems to pause just to listen to a voice that promises adventures full of desires. Two love warriors who will meet and discover, in the end, that eye to eye is taking on a stage far from there. Their gazes, like spears, will meet in the air to herald future promises.
       Whose glance is this, which now decides to bridge the distance, challenge others and ignite desires and seductions? How many weapons do gazes possess to prepare for the coming battle?
       Someone will stand up and say to the one that the challenge is set, and it remains for the eye-to-eye to reveal who each one imagines they are.
