This is cleverly written Line. I can visualise a series of photographs of two people who are very intimate! You can see the camera rolling till the last frame!

Line, Your poem lines are effective and touching. The very essence of what it is to be human. When friends exchange tickets for an upgrade to the sublime. -Richard
