Eyes staring from across the room.
Shared smiles, as butterflies dance in their bellies.
A song only the two of them can hear.
The anticipation of her touch.
The desire to feel his lips pressed against hers.
The secretiveness and lies that line their story.
Together,
They drown out the saga that surrounds them.
For a moment,
They are one.
They are happy.
With a sudden touch of the hand
she is drawn back to the reality that sits in front of her.
Drawn back to the sadness and hurt that consumes her.
She takes a sip of her beer
trying to drown the emptiness she feels.
Turning back to her escape every so often with a smile.
Longing to hold him.
The desire to be happy.
The desire to be one.
