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.
