We stood huddled together

The icy chill of confusion and the whiskey-soaked warmness surrounding us

I touched your skin

I felt you respond

I heard your breath; a short, sharp inhale

I looked at you, into you

In an instant, everything drifted away

People, intentions, half truths and sly glances; gone

And for a moment… connected

I could feel it; I don’t have to wonder anymore

I know what you wanted to say, and you don’t have to

I know

It’s the wrong time

The wrong life

The wrong beginning

But know that I love you too
