In a Glance

Silence. Candles flicker. Marvin and Teddy in sync with the movement of our shadows. The way my names rolls off her lips no one deserves to ever repeat it. Her legs feel like silk and smells of the lotions and perfume that signifies her presence within my senses. As her chest rises and falls with every breath my heart beats faster; time moves slower.  The smoothness of a glass of milk colored with the same fullness as that gazing stare. As her eyes open and close I suffocate and gasp for air until they open again. Those eyes....they see my faults; they see my fears; yet they tell me no one is closer to the soul unto which I long to be apart of. I lose myself. I forget my place. Yet I know this is where I belong. And to think I've only watch her walk past me for the first time.
