The man saw her at the intersection of a busy street.
Standing opposite him, across the street, she was doing exactly what he was doing.
Waiting for the light to turn green.
She was beautiful. He had heard of woman being described as breathtaking, but never has he experienced it before this. He gasped, inaudibly, then took a deep breath.
Ten seconds passed. The little red man turned green.
He hesitated. He knew that if he crosses now, he would only be with the woman he now loves for that brief second when they brush past each other at the middle of the road, each heading in the opposite direction.
He knew that he will never again see her after that moment.
He has fallen in love at the traffic lights before.
He decided that he would wait for her to cross to his side of the road.
He pretended to drop his books on the ground, wanting to appear less than obvious as to why he wasn't yet crossing the street.
When he looked up, he saw that the lights had turned red again, and to his surprise, he saw her still standing at the exact same spot when he saw her. Only this time, she was looking at him too, from across the street.
When the pedestrian traffic lights turned green again, he walked over, and noticed that she was just standing there, as if waiting for him.
He approached her, and asked, "Why didn't you cross the street?"
She smiled and replied, "I was waiting for you to cross over to me."
He stormed off, walking away from the girl, only turning back to scream at her, "You lazy!#$%#W%%$#%! Not even willing to walk a little extra to meet me halfway!"
