Eyes meet
Beats skip
Time halts
Cheeks warm
Smiles spread
Knees weak
Arms yearn
Feelings flood
Butterflies free
Breath escapes
Hearts intertwine
Souls merge

Time passes

Eyes locked
Beats steady
Memories made
Cheeks soft
Smiles engraved
Knees buckle
Arms catch
Emotions intense
Butterflies swarm
Breath shaky
Space closed
Connection made

Time passes

Eyes red
Beats rapid
Memories replay
Cheeks stained
Smiles departed
Knees buckle
Arms absent
Tears choke
Butterflies lifeless
Breath nowhere to be found
Hearts crushed
Souls severed

Time passes
Heart learns, heart heals
Seconds
