When you are still
in brief moments
smiling at something
that someone says
and that sunlight
dances on your lips
I let my stare linger
a bit too long

I watch your eyes
as they dart across
a room of strangers
until they fall on me
and frozen
I wait to see
your reaction

There that smile
That perfect second
pulls us in
to a world apart
without breath

I could live
in that world
