Eyes locked for dragging seconds
You opened your mouth
And closed it
And opened it once more
Nothing but deafening waves of silence
Escaped your lips
The air became heavy and saturated
With words you wanted to say
But didn't

Two breaths, you took
Each in synchronism
With my subtle gasp of anticipation
Never did I dare
To question your hesitance
Because I, too
Fostered mangled words
On the tip of my tongue
That I could not string together
For the life of me

I can see in your eyes searching
for air, to ignite once again
the love long forgotten
bethroned and smashed into ashes
kneeling down the porch
of niche sentiments
You must have noticed I have
lost my synchronism with your heart beat
There is no air I can offer
You must have felt my hands,
cold in lack of emotional dexterity
If you think your eyes can thaw my heart
please try. Its been long I have enjoyed the spring
My senses have lost its way,
not wanting to fall again
my eyes, they still are cold
And that stare you have
the lips dry in lack of love
the strangled hairs lacking the caress
and my fingers clumsy with hesitation
I can say, it will be long time before
we can melt together again
And I would not let you down this time
if you never leave my hand
