I watch you watch me.
Your staring blue-green eyes
Like a summer Corfu sea
laugh as the seagull cries
Wishing things could be.
We know that it's too soon
And now it is too late
Since we met in early bloom
Not worried about fate.
But now we realize
How perfect we both could be
And in dismayed surprise
How much we need to see.
And so we love in silence
Our wings willingly clipped
Pausing any violence
Our hearts so clearly stripped.
One day one must leave
To live our youths away
And I will only grieve
Seeing our time decay.
