He was entranced
It was a word not often heard
But entranced he was.
Her energy beguiling
It held his attention and pulled him in
A sweet surrender
Her voice, her smile
Her laughter even more
It caught and turned his head
Bringing forth his own smile
Shamelessly.
He could never look away for long
His gaze always returning
To her.
She did not know of course
Could not know
How much he craved her touch
But could not
For reasons never articulated
Reach for.
But still her entrancing presence called
And he returned
But could not
Would not
Move too close
Not yet.
