DENIAL

Missing Her

Giving the new surgeon a last smile she finally walks away

He forces his eyes off her for a split second as she passes him by

But they follow her in the next instance much to his dismay

Unable to control his eyes or his feelings so a lie

He tells himself to remain sane

It's nothing – no emotional bond exists

He just wants to get back a friendship

At least that's what he persists

She stands waiting for the elevator

And he has a momentary gain of courage

Striding in next to her just as the doors close

Both trapped in the temporary cage

Seeing opportunity lurking

He decides to take action

Kissing her as they travel down the floors

Not thinking about her reaction

Lips on lips

Tongues inside mouths

Their feelings obvious

Yet there's doubts

Simultaneously releasing her as the doors clash open

Looking up at him out of breath and surprised

Her confusion's apparent as she exits

Leaving him with something realized

He already misses her

Wishing to turn back time

Saying "I can't believe I let go

Let go of something that was mine."
