In that very moment, we came close,
Your heart gently pressed against mine.
My eyes tried to escape the flames,
That ran through the veins of time.
I tried to run, you pulled me in,
A desperate attempt beneath the skin.
My breathing grew sharp and hollow,
Yours weren't steady before.
There was a faint glow upon your face,
Blushed from the heat of the moment.
A slight smile ran down your lips,
We were absent, yet deeply present.
My hands traced your hair like fine art,
Yours kept pulling at my white shirt.
We knew, we felt, but silence took hold—
Never had I known you to be so bold.
