Person Number One
Looks at
Person Number Two
Person Number Two smiles and
Moves a little bit
Closer
Person Number One returns the
Smile
And inches
Even
Closer
Person Number Two closes their eyes and
Puckers their lips
Leans in
And
Person Number One closes their eyes
Just the same
And, wouldn't you know it
Puckers and leans
Person Number Two's lips touch
Person Number One's
And they share
That first
Kiss
Smiles all 'round
Both of their faces alight
Thoughts of happy futures and
Secure days
Ahead
Fast forward
A year or so
Person Number One slams their car door shut
Gets out
Walks through a
Large parking lot
No one around
Except Person Number Two
Person Number Two rushes
Politely
Toward Person Number One
Her heels make little
clickclickclicks
As she moves closer and
Closer in
They are five feet apart now
Person Number One smiles
Person Number Two's heels clickclickclick
And as sure as they do
Person Number One and Person Number Two
Stride, slide and click
Right
Past eachother
Without even a
Second
Glance
