Twenty-Seven Seconds
Standing near the edge.
Both of us close enough to either touch or dive. The wind cuts through us both, and we shiver together, synchronized.
Those last awkward words on our lips have died, leaving us to try and not stare...but not avoid eye contact either.
We both struggle to find something to say...
...mouth moving-no words to tumble out. Shrug and smile lopsided, sideways as always.
Convey your words, my words with eyes, body language, something. Anything.
Please.
Please.
And now, we can both see we're on the edge. Toeing the precipice with those begged words. But courage fails and we're apart once more.
...
Those were the
longest
twenty-seven seconds
of our lives.
