The Silent KISS

Waiting to catch the bus I looked around.
          Our eyes locked momentarily.
I knew he felt it too. But as I boarded
 I tried to ignore this deep unexplained feeling.
          So, I sat and just stared ahead.
Stop it I said to myself, but my eyes wandered to his
          My heart raced, then he was next to me.
Silently reaching over he kissed me.
A stirring passion engulfed our desire.
         The bus stopped, and as I stepped off
I saw her smiling face as she greeted him.
           Without looking back, I walked away.
With a tingle of a stranger’s silent kiss on my lips.
           I thought how random but then smiled.

How different, I though they KNEW each other, as in had been intimate, and that he'd kissed her before casually exiting and walking over to his wife, BUT, turns out, they didn't have prior relations, his kiss was downright unexpected and brazen and and and ... I enjoyed this. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
