You watch yourself and you watch her.
Waiting for something you know can’t happen.
Pale skin
An arched back
Silk smooth hair slips aside.
A momentary glimmer.
Your eye catches and stays.
Two warm bodies miles apart, yet closer than most.
Neither can let go.
Neither will.
Quiet now.
The sound of a car passing, of faint laughter.
Nothing interrupts.
Single words typed with one hand. Words of love, desire.
Words that can’t be said in daylight.
Long pauses and long glances.
Roll away and let one watch the other.
Passion holds so tightly it hurts.
Moments that can’t be captured, held.
They’re there and they pass.
Only a memory left.
A memory fainter, a feeling lessened, but the knowing remains.
Look ahead, look back, try to understand.
