Their eyes held from across the road
a convention of sorts
the connection between them pulls them together
but their wills hold back,
questions override logic,
Is it too soon? Is it time? Who’s the one?
answers evade them
yet their bodies hold strong to the attraction
the space between them feels like an endless chasm
but they wonder who will take the first step
two strangers with tied souls
they linger until the forces pulling them together spurn into motion
their steps eat up the distance and they find themselves face to face
goofy smiles light up their faces
as they stand face to face
their eyes twinkle as they behold each other
finally they hold hands and walk away
