Sometimes
Sometimes when you talk, I watch but forget to listen. It’s not that I don’t want to; But oh, the way those eyes glisten. Sometimes when you smile, The shadows on your face dance; And a momentary glint in your eyes, Becomes the highlight of the glance. Sometimes, I can’t recall Telling you all you know about me. Did you read my mind? Thought I was the silent variety. Sometimes, I wonder why You’re the only surprise I never disliked. Never thought tailor-made words Just needed the right eyes. Sometimes, not knowing is easy; Eyes closed, heads down, in bliss. But, when the lights come on, Something’s going to give.
