there was that single moment
our flesh touched
we connected
and with my arm I could feel
the smoothness of his skin
for a single second I knew all I needed to
he would be a great lover
our kisses would cause stars to go nova
there would be passion and music throughout the heavens
oh yes there would be music and passion
then he moved
the contact was broken
and I grew unsure
unsure of what would come
of what could come
of what I should do
of what he might do
if I should even make a move
to take that step closer
that moment was forever gone
but could I make another last
could I make another
should I try
or should I just revel in that rapturous moment of possibilities
and let sleeping dog lie
oh my mind grew heavy
consumed with what’s, ifs, and should i's
the embrace of my other
was barely enough to hold together
barely, but enough
his touch grew pale with her's
her kiss and taste and feel
enveloped my world
for a time
and then she too left me
she went back to her world
but unlike him, I know she will return
but until then i sit here
waiting, wanting
a word
but only a word
yes no
it does not matter which
but i seek, i need, I await
a word
of or lack there of
interest.
of closer
or future facts.
it takes only a word
