he slides his hand over her body
rising from her waist to her neck
her eyes constantly locked in his.
she uses words like 'perhaps'.

she hugs him to hold him close
...steady...
he is flying somewhere; her fragrance, his wings.
she uses words like 'perhaps'.

she takes his hand
when they walk together
memory lanes are slippery, she says.
she uses words like 'perhaps'.

he passed by her house
waved at her from the street
they choke when they talk of love.
she uses words like 'perhaps'.
