we sat next to each other
anxiety high

                                     hands almost close
                                                 almost

smiles exchanged
little glances here and there

                                                          there for another
                                                          to celebrate
                                                          drinks, food
                                                          tables abuzz

                         but i couldn't take you from my gaze

your brown eyes
your gentle smile
the way you held your hands
               close to your chest

                                       the drive home
i kindly asked you to
                                        
                                            "i suppose"
was enough for me

the lights of the town blurred
as we reminisced
passing cars as we stopped for gas
laughs as we indulged in candy and ice cream

didnt anticipate to be home soon
we sat in the car for what seemed like hours
i was happy to just be there
with you in silence

last night
i wish i would have said more
"i suppose"
was enough for me
