Defining Moment

Should have been a defining moment
Hoping for a simple answer
Just a "Yes" or a "No"
Instead a figurative reply came out

What we have is like art
It can't be defined by logic
But yet awaits to be expressed
With harmony of time and understanding

On second thought
Somehow it was a defining moment after all
Words like "letting go" and "moving on"
Which were feared to come out
Were not spoken
Just had to read between the lines

Learned a new word too, "reserve"
