glimmer

odd, that look you tossed
   so soft to me
as i was leaving

gently, like the kiss
   we shared one night
as our lips melted

into more than friends
   but not so fast
as you decided

our lips should stay cool
   and hearts not race
as you retreated

that look, it said you 
   could have been wrong
as breath left my chest

i must thank the door
   that held me up
as your gaze brushed mine

so bewildered
were my knees
