And I swore that you looked at me like if my eyes were made of rubies, maybe even gold. for a brief second I felt your eyes burn through me. I felt like you looked at me, the way I look at you, with compassion and when you looked away, I knew it was unreal, you probably thought you saw something in my face, or maybe it was the look I gave you, the hurt in my eyes that you may have recognized, but who really knows. it never really happened.
