• A single moment

  The two of them had just walked 25 steps away from the rest of the group
  It had been a great night with steak, wine, martinis, and mojitos
  She had been the guest of honor, the plus one, the friend for the night

  The friends had been speculating if the two were dating
  What a great girl, they continued to whisper to him through the dancing and merriment
  He did not know if they were staring as he grabbed her hand and gave it a slight squeeze

  The presumptuousness of his hopes were rewarded as she returned the squeeze favorably
  They continued to walk towards the car not caring to see if anyone  was watching
  The combination of drinking and their continuous flirting through the night peaked

  As they turned the corner he grabbed her in close for a hug
  They linger --  he slipped his hands behind her jacket to firmly grab her back
  As he continued to hold her close and breathe softly in her ear

  Her head is perfectly creviced in the side of his shoulder
  And what feels like forever begins to pass
  She kisses his shoulder and turns her head towards him

  They hover their lips in front of each other and the sweet smell of alcohol
  is now sweeter off her lips than it was in the glass
  Their lips continue to dance and tease each other as the two have through the night

  The moment passes and no one dares to go in for the final kiss
  The single moment has passed
  They continue on, not mentioning it to another soul
