Meeting at Central

Steps at Central

Past midnight

Quickening heartbeats

No words no might

Beers in hand

Stealing looks in plain sight

Waiting for each other

To break the melting ice

Ever the silence

Never one dares

Yet one musters the other

A kiss in the light

Walking at Central

Hand in hand

An alley they borrow

Some moments to spend

The magic of an instance

The sparks, the flares

Captured in memory

No time can bear

The passage of time

The ails of one

What once was

Has been undone

That moment in time

Forever my bane

I near the beat

I fear its pain

Footsteps at Central

No beer in hand

No alley in sight

A last moment to spend
