A magical moment they say.

Not fully aware

Our minds elsewhere.

An interesting kiss

Somewhat forbidden

Not thinking clear

Stop. Stop. Stop.

“Come on,” he says.

I block it out.

This isn’t magic,

Not a magical moment by far.

Not how I imagined,

It’s just a big mistake,

Too late to take it back,

I have to erase it from my mind.

Delete it from my memory,

Turn it into darkness.

An empty space, an empty face;

Just magic emptiness.
