only then did she

open her mouth

and he turned to look

but then, as thier eyes connected

she stopped,

it was as if a door,

then a world opened

as they blinked at each other,

an entire conversation that

started simple and was soon so

intricate that the words ceased instead

of spilling out all over each other,

after that there was

the moment when each attempted to

think of what to say and right

at that very second the crowd

started up again and

each one reached for thier phone

each one gave numbers

and eventually

together they embraced the night

and danced off

down the path of evening

to the tune of

stars and moon

ready to see wherever

it would lead them
