An unspoken understanding

You turn slowly,
taking your time as your head swivels my way,
your eyes following not far behind.

I hold my breath in anticipation,
counting the seconds.
Just as I reach three,
your eyes collide with mine.

We share a tantalising moment of sheer bliss.

An understanding passes to and fro.
Our eyes speaking for our hearts, saying much more than I wished to show.

No words spoken. No words needed.

I look down breaking our intense gaze, regretting this decision my eyes dart up in a desperate search to see you once more.

But your gone and I know your not coming back.

You were merely a figment of my imagination. The moment I broke our heated stare, I broke you too.

Just like the others you leave, never to return. For I am real and you are not.

Yet I dare say you are the realist being I have ever encountered.
