Today, she lets herself dream
She sees him
She sees his face, his smile, his nice clean cut
He looks effortlessly handsome, smiling, and talking to others
But his eyes are searching
Looking for her and finally finding her
He smiles
And in that moment, she wishes it were just them
Just the two of them
Left in the room
The light dims
and the chatter fades
She imagines all the impossible, spontaneously dangerous things that could happen
At first, they would stand apart
Not too far, not too close
Somewhere in between
Far enough to breathe, close enough to feel the air between them shift
She looks at him and smiles
He looks at her with excitement
They talk about everything, about nothing
About the future, about today
And then she hears the quick rhythm of their hearts
The shared pulse
Slowly, without meaning to, he moves closer
Because that’s the point, isn’t it
Their hands touch lightly, accidentally
Electricity
Butterflies
And maybe they do it again
She leans into him and bites her lips a little while looking into his eyes
He’s shy, but he looks back into her eyes
She runs her fingers through his hair until she traces the edge of his sleeve
He looks at her, surprised, unsure whether to step forward or stay still
But he can’t help himself either
Because he’s dreamed of this too
The moment where everything else fades
He comes closer, whispering something that sounds like the truth
She bites his lips
Kisses him not deeply, not yet
Just enough to call him back into the moment
He kisses her carefully, gently
Holding the moment as if it could break
The kiss lingers
Soft at first, then deepens
A slow, unstoppable fire
They both feel the intensity
Then she hears someone call her name
And just like that, reality returns
The noise
The crowd
The truth
They’re still just two people standing apart in a room
But what passes between them is real, consuming, magnetic, alive
Maybe one day they’ll get their chance
Maybe not
But for today, she lets herself dream.
