It was only a moment,

Just a second in time,

Him looking at me,

The look of fondness,

The fact he cares,

It was only a moment,

His arm over my shoulder,

His thumb across my skin,

Me looking at him,

The admiration and care,

A moments gaze,

A moments time.

I was safe,

I was loved,

I was happy.

His arms around me,

The breath on my neck,

The moment of emotion.

The second I did not feel sad,

The second I felt loved,

The second someone cared,

The moment I was safe.

Only a moment,

Simply a second.

Now there is only air,

The cold of the night ,

The moment is gone,

The second being pushed into the past.

A bittersweet smile,

A soft goodbye,

And that is all.

The moment is gone,

And the seconds pass by.

A moment that will never return,

A feeling that is lost.

The safety,

Happiness

The feeling of love,

They are all gone.

They will never return.

A moment in time,

A second lost.
