[bodytext] => Whether or not the time was right Or the situation appropriate, I can still say that it was something Special. You just stood there For what seemed like an eternity, Like a timeless statue Of the most perfect marble, Looking through me. It seemed at the time, That you only knew me From the clippings of memories We had collected together, but As your stony gaze chiseled A bead from your eyes to mine I could feel your recognition growing. Even if telling you I loved you Was too much for you to hear, I still Think the moment was sincere enough To be something more Than a mere moment Of artless inspiration. I looked back at you with an artist's Eye, full of anticipation, visualizing Lines yet to be carved, curves not Yet polished. It made me wonder If I had the necessary tools To fashion future moments With you; I found myself Imagining you cast in bronze: Your features resolute, yet still warm. I wondered if you could have loved me Back, in that moment, even for a fleeting Instant; if you could pose long enough For my eyes to memorize your body & face, Allowing me to capture them for eternity. Even though I imagined you repeating My words back to me, you only looked At me smiling, as if waiting For your mouth to catch up With your mind.
