tiny seconds

 

did you see that? did you feel that?

my eyes on you. a smile for you.

come closer. i need to hear you speak.

as your eyes shine and sing melodies

 

what was that? can you feel that?

my gaze trail your movement.

a stare that rudely linger. 

looking across the crowd, another look longer

 

so what now? what did you see?

did you finally see me? 

as i hold and let go of these tiny seconds

of the possibility of you and me

 

i blinked and open my eyes a little too late

nowhere in sight, a pang of panic

too slow to act, tiny seconds gone

in a heartbeat.
