~a moment too . . . a lifetime~

~in a moment. . .
a slight glance happens. . . .
will they
have they
do they-connect. . . .

a quick ripple of thought soften's the eye's. . . .
a moment of chance.......
for two unaware
of thought those eyes share . . . .

what it'd be like fingers entwined
under the moon, beach, blanket an time. . . .
a walk to the market
a bike built for two . . . .

what's the other thinking

could it be you. . . .

that moment could it ever...............
become a lifetime~
