You turn towards me, We lock eyes. For a moment It's hard to breathe, My face is warm, My body grows tense, but I analyze every detail of your face. (5…10…15...) The shadows of the Irises in your eyes, Your mouth twitching when you’re nervous, Your nose scrunches when I don’t speak first, Your gray hairs peeking through your dark brown hair. (20…25…30...) Your eyes wrap around my soul, My secrets, My flaws, My heart. You hold me by just looking at me. (35...40...45...) Even for a minute . I know it's the closest we’ll get to being with one another. I take it all in. (50...55...60...) And when you turn around All I can think about is if you’ll look my way again. Will I captivate your courage this time? To let it all out. To use your words. And not love me for only a minute. (5...10...15...)

look at me
