It took 5 heartbeats
She walked by him
Met his eyes
One beat
She lowered her gaze
Noticed his knuckle scars
One beat
Looked back up
Saw him looking at her
A beat skipped
Unconsciously
Covered her wrist scars
One beat
Suddenly
He said
What's wrong?
Two beats at a time
And she was lost
Maybe in him
Maybe his kindness
Maybe
Just
Lost
