a moment come and gone

 

we've known each other a long time

why today should be different i don't know

we look and look into each others' eyes

until it feels like something will catch fire

 

we can't look away, can't move

finally i reach out and touch your arm

and you touch mine, and that

is close as we can get, but it is perfect

and you touched mine, and that

was close as we could get, but it was perfect

Memorable electric moments, I love the way you have used the different tenses, in the moment and reliving the moment.

I love the softness and the longing in this fine piece of writing. Sometimes just knowing is enough. A masterpiece!

how beautiful and how sweet but mostly how precious.
I literally sighed when I finished reading this. It's what I imagine most everyone desires in their life. I know I wanted it for mine. I just think, now, my time has passed. I can still smile and remember when though and dream. I love this. :) kathy
