Not you

There was a moment that passed between us
When it was too late for my thoughts to make sense
When we had downed way too many drinks
There was a moment when I felt something
The tiniest of fires being lit within me
No one had made me feel like this in months
Years, perhaps
But I turned away, I had to
I couldn't just reach out and pull you to me
I couldn't feel your skin against mine
Not with you, never with you
There was way too much at stake
