When our eyes locked across the crowded room, time stood still.
Was it a second, a minute, an hour?
I couldn't tell.

The beating of my heart flooded my ears.
Was I even breathing?
His sparkling blue eyes took me in and transported me to a white ocean beach lapping along waves of seagull-singing aqua wetness.
Holding hands, sharing our inner most thoughts, laughing.

Could anyone read our thoughts or interpret our secret stare?
Were we still safe holding this secret dear?

How do you tell of your love and the dreams that can never be with one single stare?
Did he catch on?
Did he understand what it all meant?
That one glance spoke a lifetime of words.
How do you make him see the vision you cherish when it cannot be?

Could it be that all this was said in that one quick glance?

Indeed it was.

All was said and not said in that one moment in time.
