10 Seconds

I close my eyes and
Take in a deep breath
Then prepare myself
For what may come next.
10 seconds.
10 seconds of pure carelessness
I thought silently
My heart is racing
My hands are shaking
I've waited too long
And have too much to say
To have another chance be taken.
I open my eyes once again
To have my gaze so easily find him.
His eyes lock onto mine.
And for a moment in time
Everything stops
Everything around us
Before I can take even a single breath
I find myself standing in a different place
Staring at him face to face
Then suddenly it happened.
And all it took was

10 seconds
