Face To Face

Face to face at last

Perpetual gaze is held

No words are spoken

Hands reaching out with purpose

You grab the last cookie first

wow killer last line I can smell the cookies!remember punctuation and capitalization not used in japanese forms [they count the sounds and they give a different sound to indicate surprise which would add to the sound count, so, they don't use punctuation]
