public affection

when you see
two people kissing
passionately
in the park
you stare
for a moment, so
rare
a thing to
see, but then you
turn your head,
somehow jealous
and wanting what
they have.
lips against
lips with the promise
of more.
you imagine
their lives
together, that this
is the beginning
of a life
long love affair.
that they will
be forever joined
by this kiss
and passion
that they so openly
share.
your imagination
runs wild
sometimes.
