I blink
And you come towards me
Cup my cheek
Caress my face

You step closer
Closer
Closer

And I smile

You lean down and
Gently, so gently
Kiss my lips

You rest your forehead
Against mine
And the gesture is so sweet
I melt

I blink
And you look at me
Strange
Before you walk away

I blink
It never happened
I miss it
