He looks at her like it's the first time.
Her smile, her laugh, her smell;
It's been a while.
Nervousness, butterflies,
He doesn't know what to do.
Walks up to her, holds her tight,
Feels like something new.
Staring into each other's eyes,
She feels the same, quite a surprise.
He holds her close, lips touch, almost.
He whispers, "I've missed you."
He won't let her go.
She feels safe, like this is right.
They both lean in.
It made their night.
