At the movies

You stare at the screen
But my eyes are fixated on you
The way you smile when the actors kiss
Makes me want to touch your lips

Is that a tear running down your cheek?
My finger longs to catch it and trace the moist trail it left
on your soft skin

The lights go on
The moment’s gone
But it wasn’t ours to begin with
