High School Romance

Do you remember the magic from back then?

It's recess.

Everyone is zomming here and running there.

Chatter of who said what to whom, which teacher is a bitch for making someone spit her gum out.

Then you see a special someone in the hall and for a split second- eyes catch,
-a glance?

Time suspends.
There's the delicate trace
of moisture
upon the lip.
The gaze, still held -
in passing
just a beat
too long
the heart ,
skips,
catch breath and let out a low whispered
"Whoa..."
or is it a moan?
"Oh no! Did anyone hear that?"

And before each looks away,
just a split second before
as her hair
flows in swirl,
"Ahhh!" it is there !
a shy hint
of a smile,
a sly glint
- in the eye
a tear?
The spell
is cast
...forever.

Does a moment
-fade in time?
Even if you
never had the chance...
the dance..

No,
No.
It
grows
...stronger.
And some
times
an unguarded
moment
in the life
you wonder...
and your
heart
- it skips
once again...
alas.
