night one

what ifs, what could have beens
an array of unending questions
a distant place, a moment in time
for once it was almost mine

’twas a cold night, drizzling
windy and raining
on a beachfront yuletide
that moment to deride

such distinct hearts in unison
a first time in motion
too confused and perplexed
just didn’t know what’s next.
