We stood in the dark, each waiting
For the other to act,
Unaware that we each held the same
Desires. Unaware that our hearts
Were pounding equally as fast.
We could both feel the heat
Of each others' breath,
And yet, we did not guess
That for one of us to put our lips
Onto the others' would not have sealed our fate,
Would not have changed the essential pith
Of who we were.
We waited in the dark for seven minutes.
An eternity of longing for two so close.
When we left the closet and faced the others,
We just smiled wryly,
And shook our heads.
