A Sparkle

did you ever feel it?

just for a second a glimpse

but only for a moment

then it was gone

now that doesn't matter

that doesn't matter

what matters is that you felt it

now,

did you?

feel it, i mean.

i think you did.

you did!

an entire lifetime of mine will awaken when i hold your gaze a second too long.

indeed a hundred years slumbers in there,

it is in there,

it is in there,

an awkwardness will make me look away a second too soon

but I'll smile under my breath

knowing the great big trick that i played

and as i bid goodbye

i know you'll grin 

under your eye
