His Look

His look

It all started with a look.
The look that said it all
She never thought it would last long
She thought it will fade away after a while
But then it lingered on
Her beauty was ravishing
But not enough to keep his gaze on her for that long

He moved closer and her heart leaped
Could this be what she's thinking it is?
He moved yet closer
With his gaze still fixed on her
Now, her legs are shaking
She couldn't take it anymore
Nobody has ever stared at her for that long
At least, none that she knows
She was there to pay her bills
He must be there for the same reason too
But now the attraction is messing with her head
He's just a step away from her
And he won't stop looking
Then he stopped

It looked like her heart stopped with him
All along her eyes have been on him stylishly
She forgot all what she came to do
'If only he would speak' she thought
And then he spoke
Her heart missed a beat
He moved yet closer and whispered
'Can you please move forward? The queue is too much behind you'
