for a moment closer

@Uootem

Walking toward a familiar face,
the rush of remembrance overwhelming
heart feels as if it is in my throat,
pulse quickening with each footstep.

    a smile and a brief hug,
    such a tease to a lost lover
    never enough to sate the yearning
    I still want you closer to me.

          The slightest glance into your eyes
          sends me into a world far away in time
          as I try to find quick wit to quiet the response
          you must see in my eyes.

              You smile is so bright with recollection
              it lightens my heart but weighs on my soul
              for you soon walk away again and
              I know tonight I will dream of times since gone.
