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.
