laughing, i gasped for breath we lifted our heads the space between us floated away you sighed onto my cheek and i absorbed it as the sun the tension thrust me back where i sat but for a second you lingered pensively, your eyes caught mine then you excused yourself you must go.. errands to run, it's getting late, hair to clean, sleep to be had. it sure was fun thanks for lunch.. i'll um.. call me sometime.. bye. your smile is caught, your eyes captured, the ransom.. those few inches of silent wind between a kiss and a goodbye.
