compromise

 Instantaneously 
 I noticed 
 her eyes beckoned  
 did not dither either
 strode her determination 

 I curtailed a smile 
 encouragement can stumble confidence
 After all
 there was still time ,
 wasn't there?
 
 She edged over
 to my arena
 indulged a peek  
 After all
 it was self-indulgence which beckoned us ,
 wasn't it?
 
 We hit it off
 ran riot wrapped tightly together
 Knew what was best for each other
 After all 
 We all do awhile ,
 don't we? 
  
 Until with fingers crossed
 we agreed to differ
 We sprinted
 towards the starting block
 After all 
 Time had stood still, 
 hadn't it?

The lock of eyes, to the approach in inquisitiveness then reverse to the beginning like it is all played out in the mind hehe wishing it? Good write to tease direction!

I'm led to belive you got laid, but then not sure at the end. Fun in a cryptic way, but comes across a little too clever. What is "she edged over to my arena.."? How about something simply mundane like 'she stepped closer'

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
