I saw you for the first time today.
Both of you.
I don’t know your names, but I want to.
You each have a presence.
Different from the other.
You talk to each other.
Your eyes smile.
Your voices are captivating.
I wanted to be near you both.
I wanted to talk to you both, be in your world.
The stars in the sky behind where you stood glimmered brighter.
The scene framed you both perfectly.
One of you caught me looking.
The other turned.
My heart beat faster.
I knew in that instant what both of you thought of me.
What both of you wanted from me…
