In one moment in time,
the pain of rejected love met
with the bliss of a first kiss.

Her soft lips, the focus of new infatuation.
Her smile massaged the heart once stone.
Her eyes fulfilled me with renewed purpose.

To her, the kiss was a pleasant surprise.
An enjoyable moment shared.
A spark did not ignite the flame.
It remained untouched, unfazed, unchanged.

His dream crushed, his utopia crumbled.
The endless memories not yet made, erased.
A harmless kiss, the gesture well received.
The leap of faith...now a drowning abyss.

To him, it was everything and more.
To her, it was just a moment in time.
