There were moments between us

That I can see clearly

Like a photograph

Taken by Canon dSLR

Captured at exactly right moment

As if time stood still.



You carrying my white comforter to your red Mustang

In memory of the *******

You had a glint in your eye

And even though we didn’t say goodbye

That white comforter left hanging around your shoulders

Said I won’t forget you.



At the Christmas party

You said you were tired

And sat down

I hovered around

Until you gestured to join you

And you took my hand

Unfazed

By this grand gesture

in front of your friends

And left me assured.



Your fingers

Softly trailing up and down

My bare arms

Tingles down my spine

A sensation that lingers

Those tantalising signs

of a kiss about to happen

better

than the kiss itself
