Hesitation

I saw you in the corner

your heart beating harder than the rest

I saw how your eyelids would fall

(and rose)

and you laughed an entire laughter in a single breath.

I felt your hand

it was soft

softer than the every hand I have rested mine in

and when you looked into my eyes

i could see a million sighs evaporating

a million times i had wished

(for a girl like you)

yet you sat there in the corner

your heart beating harder than the rest

and i couldn’t dare to embrace you when you cried

because of the ring i already had

on my finger on the left.
