Ten Seconds

Meet my gaze, dare to,
Ten seconds is all I need,
Take my hand, dismiss resistance,
Nine seconds, dare to.

The knowledge, eight seconds,
Brown eyes that weep,
Crying inevitable forgiveness,
Brown eyes that sparkle,
Dare to? Seven seconds.

Laugh, don’t look away,
Six seconds, can you?
Him, her, us, hold me closer,
Fifth second, dismiss resistance.

Four seconds, lose control,
Tick-tock, deep innocent eyes,
Closer now, don’t lets rush,
Three seconds, dare to.

Two seconds, adrenaline overdose,
Sleepless nights, wanting this moment,
Sweetest lips, dreaming eyes,
One second, our private universe.

No going back now, dare to?
