Limitations

 

The evening was dark and cold enough,

Both were sitting on a bench,

waiting for each other to make a turn

New to love, did not know how to express

He broke the ice, with his vibrating voice,

She kept her eyes on him,

To capture his every sight

To give him comfort, she touched his knees with hers

And held his hand to her chest with great tenderness

She cut the background voices to listen to his heart

His rotating eyes were misted over;  

and she wanted to be drowned in them

His broken sentences were making sense to her

Their intimacy wanted them to come closer

But following their limitations, she gave a silly smile and

wrote her name on his hand, sitting by his side
