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.

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?
