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.
