When his lips almost touched soft skin she pulled away and moved along, shadowy as innocence in the night. Johnny the Kid instead had heart ache with a hurt deep inside. But he was too young to know she was young too.

Young lust. Aerosmith had a song about it. Good post. The skeleton of a longer story here.
Gotta value these archetypal moments...people don't write songs, or poems, about holding hands n'such anymore.
