all i wanted to do
was cup your face in my hands
my cold and shaking hands
to kiss your lovely lips
goodnight

your long hair
made my once steady fingers
tremble
with the desire
to feel each silky lock
slide through them

your easy smile
set my blood
to a slow simmer
the way a laugh
traveled
from your eyes
to your mouth
and tumbled
into the night sky

the way you walked
the way
you looked down
and up again
into my eyes
i just wanted to kiss you

this poem
is to apologize
for hesitating
to do so
