I watched him pass
Looking for me
in a lobby full of strangers
I smiled
as I caught his eye
Remember to Breathe —
I said quietly before standing
So much to tell
So many stories
I wished
at that moment
Before opening my mouth to speak
that
every mile
every minute
every day that passed
since last we met
Would disappear
and melt us into easy conversation
For our time
Always passed too quickly
We were lightning
in a summer storm
The kind you wait for patiently
watching for flashes of light in the sky
Counting the seconds
between thunder
to anticipate it’s coming
flashes of beauty and light
But in its brevity
is gone
as quickly as it arrived
Slow down the night!
Stop the clocks!
soak our lips thru
with fine whiskey
warm our tongues
And tease our throats
Leave lipstick on the rim
of the glass we share over stolen glances
And for a moment
Let me be
once again
Reclined in his arms
Safe for a time
Smiling
In this story
We call Life
He has Stolen my breathe
and Lit my eyes with laughter
