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 band

started up again and

each reached for their drink

together they embrace 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
