The First Move

What was that?
Was it a hint?
Should I do something?
No, its too late.
Palms sweaty,
Mind is racing,
Body twitching.
I wish I knew what to do.
What was that?
There it was again.
I blink, its gone.
Leaning over, all I see is the back of your hair.
Should i say something?
"Uh..." the words are forced out.
and fall crumbling to the floor. meaningless.
walking home, pissed off at myself
still stranded at home plate.
"Next time," I promise myself, "it will be different."
