15 seconds

He glanced at me. I glanced at him. After 15 seconds he changed his mind and his glance was elsewhere.

I stared at him. He stared at her. She stared at somebody. After 15 seconds, he was hers.

Confused, he gazed at me with his innocent eyes. Questioning, I gazed at him with my forlorn eyes. After 15 seconds, i have realized...

He was never mine.

Now, I am looking at them. I know, after 15 seconds, he will realize...

She was never his... alone. (010506)
