In that moment
two paths
our eyes meet
you in a car
me in the street
do we let the moment pass
or do we somehow
somehow somehow
meet
For a moment, a minute
two paths
In one
we let the moment pass
In one
we somehow
somehow somehow
meet
I let the moment pass
break the look
walk on
as if it hadn’t happened
I don’t look back
except . . .
except . . .
I am looking back
except . . .
the moment
has stayed in me
frozen in time
Back in that moment
I break the look
walk on
The light changes
I see your car slowly slowly slowly
drive past
Two lifelines
no going back
in time
For a minute
a lifeline
I freeze, say no
No turning back
No turning back time
no going back
to that moment
which might have . . .
led nowhere
almost certainly it would have . . .
led nowhere
But who knows?
What I know . . .
I froze
closed down the chance
No turning back
