Dearest

i held her hand and caressed her
comforting warmth and affection
she whispered in my ear
he remained indifferent
such apathy
she pulled back slightly and our eyes met
closer than an inch, locked in tenderness
her lips nearby and her nose almost touching mine
we both stopped breathing
and everything around ceased to move
a frozen scene
except for his complexion turning red in anger
fuming inside yet still unmoved outside

right in front of him, there we were
me and her, hand in hand
both fixated on one another
completely lost in compassion
lost for words, lost for time
three seconds became eternity
a moment that would never end
and each of us did not want it to end
save for if more than our eyes could meet
so close yet so far
unable to stay, unwilling to leave
our hearts racing and blood flowing everywhere
blushed cheeks and watery eyes
dry lips waiting to be moistened by the other
she knew in that instant exactly what she wanted
and nothing would stop her
for during this eternal moment
he did not even exist

but being behind her he was in my sight
so my gaze distracted on the fourth second
she and i both turned to him
with the most ingenuous look
hers asking, "do you even love me?"
and mine, "do you care at all?"
knowing well that the blood within him
was pumping everywhere as well
yet with the calmest demeanor
and the most seemingly genuine expression of innocence
he simply uttered a confused "what?"
and after staring at him in surprise for
another endless period of time
she and i turned to each other again
to exchange dejection and sympathy with a smile

she would have to remain haplessly lost on him
rather than being able to lose herself with me
that is, unless he really crossed the line
but how many more times would she have to cry
and run to me
before she realized that he has already had
more than enough chances to redeem himself
i said nothing more
her smile was enough
for i knew that it was really i
who occupied her heart
