three seconds of time
By ruthless48
in three seconds of time
your mind met with mine
as her car went
past your store
you looked up and locked in
those brown eyes
always win
jammed open the door to my heart
the passion overtook
me
deranged me and shook me
like it did just from the start
but i had to reach down inside
and slam close that door open wide
a starving animal's self survival instinct
i can't feel any more
pain
or it will be like Hiroshima in my brain
now that i'm gone
the answer is
clear and distinct
you're in a lifeboat
your
wife and I in the ocean blue
there's only one spot open
who
will you choose
that third second in space
was the look on your
face
when you reached down for your wife's hand
the boat pulled
away
an unspoken love though stayed
and i was in the car
driving past you again

Isn't it hard to be the "other" one? They always say they love you, but actions speak volumes. Bittersweet write.
