The Moment

The Moment

We weren't together; we weren't far apart
The friendship was bearable but not what I wanted
If I couldn't hold you in my arms,
What could I do except hold you in my heart?
I saw the love for me in your eyes
But your mouth wouldn't say the words
You were scared
I was scared too
But you couldn't handle you fear.
You were too macho and prideful to stand up to it

The night you came over with your family
I acted distant and cold to you
But one touch of your hand to my knee brought delightful shivers
I couldn't help my emotions and feelings. 
They ran deep and wild
You insisted to come into my room to listen to a cd
I was wary of it but let you anyway since I loved you
Then we came close together, staring into each others eyes
There was longing and unsaid passionate words
We hugged and then we kissed
It was but a peck but it was meaningful 

Realizing what had happened, you jumped away
You were afraid, I saw it in your eyes
I was afraid too but I knew what was real between us
And I didn't want you to deny it. 
I brushed a lock of your hair underneath your cap
I could not do anymore for fear of touching you again
The feelings were stronger than my being 
And I was afraid of that
So I walked away
And that was the moment.
