She tried,
Lying,
To my face.

When I told her,
Not to miss me,
She wouldn’t is what she said.

Unbeknownst to her,
She didn’t realize,
Her lie.

I went close,
Pulled up her chin,
And, told her,
She’d lied.

Then, came the query,
How I knew?

Her eyes,
I told,
Always,
Would give away the truth.

She then tried hiding,
Her shy and sheepish smile,
I came closer,
Pulled up her chin again,
And, told her,
I knew all along,
About this,
And, all her other lies,
She told me.

With the exception of one,
That being,
The inevitable truth,
Which she never tried,
To hide.

That truth being,
She loved me more,
Than, I’ve ever been loved,
And, our love,
Unlike any,
Would continue,
For lifetime a many.

Time was my greatest friend when I had you
And my greatest enemy when I didn’t have you

It was the beginning to the end
And the end to the beginning

It consumed my thoughts
While flirting with my imagination
Introducing me to deeper emotions

As my heart faced a deep commotion

In flirtatious quiet
we dodge eye contact
and escape studious looks
in hope that one might fall in love
with the other without even a single word.

him: stop biting your lip. that's my job. softly chuckling
her: what? you gonna cut my arms too? and tie my nooses? and pop my pills? *fists clenched

What a fun little thing
You are to do
Never would I have imagined
I meant this much to you

Let's play the game
that we all know to well
For what we should say  
To cast that lovely spell

To capture those eyes
Which hold the sky
To touch the hands
Smooth as satin

We spin those words
So perfectly sweet
To tell that one
They set your heart a beat

You
the gaze you wear
a gentle stare
kindness and love
All of the above
I'm yours.

You
I waited a while
for a wholesome smile
took days and years
but now you're here
I'm yours.

You
those earnest ears,
our dreams and fears
Started with harmless flirting
now? never more certain
I'm yours.

You
to start I was weary
the Past has been scary
We gave it a chance
and you make my soul dance
I'm yours.

You
two hearts that need feeding
no longer bleeding
now sing a sweet song
where they belong
I'm yours.

You
We're now planting seeds
and that's all we need
On our way
day by day
I'm yours.

oh this is fun
one and done
it means nothing
just an inner warmth
you tease me
and i tease you
how talented we are
making each other
feel so special
we have no intention
of taking it further
to bed or to alter
but rather
we found a way
to pass the time
and pass the time
we shall
