wide eyes stare Right into me
i wonder what they might see
can I conceal, can i hide
what i feel for You inside?

can you see what he did not
can you see what he ignored?
are my defenses all for naught
do your stares meAn nothing more?

you sit quietly and purse your lips
touch your temples with your fiNgertips
can you possibly read my mind
and if you can, what will you find?

will you be fine once you find out
or will you stay away?
can i take it, can i bare
to be apart every day?
