Stolen Glances

An in-depth, micro-analysis of the moment two pairs of eyes locked from across the room.

What do you mean?
When you look at me that way,
And my eyes catch yours?
We look away,
Stealing glances,
Of a gaze.

What do our souls say?
More than words,
More than words.

Will there ever come a time,
When we speak with more than eyes,
Uttering words that tell the stories we hide,
In stolen glances?

Will our souls meet?
In words,
In words,
Beyond our stolen glances?

Does "follow me" work, lol ? Or just follow my words

This reminded me of a country song- or a pop like song that Harry styles or someone could sing

Lol I’m sure it’s not meant to be a song- but it was very rhythmic and immediately I placed myself in the shoes of the speaker and was hooked by the “glances”

sometimes i have experienced such regret in hind sight...the glances, the signals, the possibilities...and the shyness, the inability to speak with more than just the eyes.
if only the words would come.

Interesting freeverse poetry about moments most of us have experienced and wondered about. Life is a random process but if we consider all the nearly spoke moments that made us breathless it seems more so. Interesting talking piece for conversation.

simple but easy to read and well worded :)
