five minutes

let's play a game you and i stare in silence while locking eyes nervous and quite shy turned into big smiles then quiet laughter still looking intently all the while every second passing and strings started to exist attaching and latching knots tying in twists electricity started flowing unseen but a rushing feel back and forth a connection -- is this becoming real? in that short time i started to imagine me leaning in to kiss you and I almost let it happen three hundred seconds is up and i tried to explain but i couldn't tell you everything that was going on in my brain so i told you i feel closer to you without saying anything more didn't want you to know it was you i was longing for.

Notes

i saw a video about people staring in silence for five minutes and we decided to try it and it was funny at first we couldn't stop smiling and quietly laughing then as time passed, our reactions were changing and we got more serious, i started to feel more than what i'm seeing in front of me. i was taking deep slow calm breaths and started to feel a true connection with you and in the end when we could finally share our experiences from it, you told me yours and i didn't tell you what was going on with me fully, didn't tell you my urge to kiss you, didn't tell you the feelings that were growing because after all, we're just friends trying a game right?
