Do you know it?

secret feelings.

If I am looking away

to betray

that glimpse of you

in your shadowed seat

peeking sideways

to catch

that glimpse of me

in my sunlit seat

Am I not looking?

 

If I am passively listening

to revert

those words from you

in your masked confessions

sounding insincere

to kill

these words from me

attempting not to endear

Am I not listening?

 

If I am holding back

to conceal

our selfish dreams

sitting side by side

not feeling anyway

to deny

what we desire

yet aching anyway

Am I not holding out?

I could almost see the two of them...sitting across the room for one another furtively glancing in each other's direction. A cute scene, but the truth is unless one decides to communicate with the other, no true relationship is possible. You really painted the scene well here. Lydi**
