A simple glance across a room
To see her tonight, a flood of emotions
Gentle hair brushing across her shoulders
Welcoming warmth in her smile
Playful ways so coy, yet shy
Her mere presence intoxicating
I am frozen and dumbstruck
A simple breath taken away
For a moment the world is calm
All that was, eludes me
All that is, suspended
Time continues around us
Powerless to resist
My senses in disarray
Paralyzed by her presence
Drawn to her side
And in a moment she disappears
Parting the darkness
A wave of emptiness
Endless longing
