She

The two of us in the quietness of the room, but her presence was too loud.


You entered,

the room lit up.

Our eyes found each others'-

mine in a search.

A soft touch of hands,

lingering on my skin,

imprinted in my mind.

That rose in your hand;

my heart stopped.

A few words exchanged,

and she,

she's everywhere,

a part of you,

even your speech.

If I hold your hand,

I know,

that now I'll feel her too.
