It felt like days-
The time from when
Our eyes connected,
To the time
Our lips did.
Seemingly hours-
lost in your chocolate brown
Whirlpools of curiosity.
Exhaustion creeping up my neck
From resisting
The aching pull of your gravity
Truthfully minutes-
We spent staring
Could we do it?
Only time would tell
You ask, I answer
The moment is so close.
But the longest time was the
Seconds-
Between the closure of my eyes
And the feeling of your gentle lips
An agonizing wait
For an indescribable feeling.
Those seconds themselves
Seemed to be minutes
Or hours
Or days
Awaiting a moment
I had anticipated
For a lifetime
