head up as she walked by
she had a scene in her head
standing alone, she heard the door crack
There you are.

surprise in her eyes
'you spoke to me'
her back against the shelf,
'you came close to me'

no complaints, her heart raced
you kissed and her mind was all over the place
a month ago, would she have thought?
days change quickly

pulling away, she couldn't expect
you to stay
the responsibility didn't matter
the people didn't either
it was just you and her, caught in a stare
'just your lips and mine'
a thin icicle of air
'a thin moment in time'
