seconds pass
Slowly seconds pass
as we sit side by side
then face to face,
searching our eyes,
stumbling to find words.
What could we say?
There were no words
to take our minds off the present.
The past scared us,
our future seemed dim.
And now, …
it was just us and those hands.
So we waited
and watched the seconds pass.
