The First Date (2010)

Have you ever lived a moment that consisted of nothing much?

A few seconds of stability, then an hour without touch?

Just two faces sitting awkwardly, glaring at the moon.

Each wishing with all their heart that the other would make a move.

A long ten minutes pass, one shuffles to their feet.

Reaches out their hand, then just as quickly retreats.

What they want is dangling there. They can reach out and receive.

But self consciousness is quite unfair, making their awkward moment complete.

The silence is almost deafening, no one can hear a thing.

Just thought and emotions running wild wondering if they'll survive to meet again.
