fleeting Lifetimes

he sits behind me
inches away
close enough for me to make out his laughter
something in between a giggle and whisper
that brings a smile to my face
pulls my lips into this lingering touch of
something great
and when he drums his pen on the desk
conducting a symphony of taps
my heart beats faster
to keep up with the music
only i can hear
and sometimes
he'd put his head down
and close the sparkles in his eyes
and i would lean back
just a little
to capture his soft breaths
just enough
to break the universe between us
and simply exist
in one
Quiet
fragment of forever.
