I wanted to kiss her
it is as absurd as it sounds
she boarded the train
as I exited to the crowded platform
our gazes met in passing
she smiled, maybe at me, maybe not
I'd never seen her before
and I only saw her for a few moments
yet, I wanted to hold her beautiful face
and plant one on her lips
she had plump, naturally red lips
their curves alluring and inviting
her smile caught my heart between beats
and it felt as though it wouldn't start again
she smiled completely, with her lips
her mouth, her cheeks, her eyes
she had clear, compassionate eyes
the kind that speak the words hearts can't
I wondered what her kiss would be like
what heaven (or hell) would await me when our lips touched
For a brief moment I pondered
if she felt the same after our eyes met
(the dreamer in me was hoping she did,
the realist was saying "hell no")
I said and did nothing, of course
we're absolute strangers
still I wonder how many other people
have felt like I did
how many have wanted to kiss
- just one kiss, nothing more -
a stranger?
