The moment is now behind us.
Did my hesitation cost us so much,
or did it belong to you? We were sharing the last glass,
the seabirds had shrieked their way into a past
that was already closing ranks behind us.
Our fingers failed to touch. I was paralysed with longing.
blinded by you, I desired so much that eluded us.
Your eyes, illuminating your regretful smile,
no longer hid in riddles I could not have understood.

A "dictated" poem
Diminished responsibility inn the early morning, packaging itself into those ten lines.
28/04: At the suggestion of ~ReinventReinvigorate I have changed the pronouns in the second line.

Ah. Wistfulness and then, also, the acceptance.
