Movie Theater

As the trailers started to play

time paused itself;

there you sat next to me.

smothered in a sweater,

crunchy snacks packed

sugary liquid hid.

Bangs curtained your face,

your eyes peeked like blinds;

I wanted to look through you.

the movie was at half,

your giggles followed my laugh,

your foot grazed my calf.

How could I focus

when I’m fantasizing

about our own story.

film lit up the screen,

but the way the light

projected onto your face

kept me watching you.

You looked left

and I looked right,

we exchanged a glance

best scene of the night.

Lights turned on,

credits rolled in,

you went your way

and I went mine.

If you felt like I did

and it felt equal,

then our movie

will have a sequel.
