*I wonder what he hides
behind those smiling lies
and the warm creeping blush
that shades his eyes
I wonder if he knows
that I can see
I wonder what he sees
when he looks at me
the flushed cheeks
and hesitant goodbyes
quivering lips
from wasted lies
I wonder what he sees*

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
