Before you go

                                    

                                              
My eyes roamed the room and I saw yours on mine
From the very corner, sipping a glass of wine  
+


                          
You looked away quickly, and so did I 
Then I looked back again, not gonna lie
+


                          
I admired you there, from way too far
With halted breaths and lips fallen ajar
+


                          
A look of concentration furrowed your brow 
You seemed out of place, I don't know how 
+


                          
Then again when did I know anything of you?
I couldn't say I did, if it were something or two
+


                          
Like your name, the colour of your eyes, what size of shoes you wear
Even if I knew, would it mean you're less of a stranger, standing there?
+


                          
A heartbeat later, your eyes fluttered up and swayed
They looked around, and then on me they stayed
+


                          
I looked back, but could not reach deep
Foreign eyes are easier to hack, and into them I seep
+


                          
But with you, I found nothing, nothing at all
You were worse than strangers now, and it ached my soul
+


                          
Yet we kept looking at one another 
Until I didn't know when 
And for a moment there I crossed my fingers
And hoped it would never end 
+


                          
The same hazel from ten years ago bored into my brown 
And there, in the green specks, I wanted to drown 
+


                          
But something was missing, I know you felt it too
What have you been doing for the past decade? I don't know, what about you?
+


                          
Well I saw you a couple times, you visited me in my sleep
You would bring back all our memories before I'm awoken by a god awful beep
+


                          
My God, I wanted to tell you so much
But wouldn't bring myself to be first
To break this silence and its sadistic clutch 
To end my turmoil and the aftermath of its worst 
+


                          
I kept mum and awaited times like these 
The feel of your eyes on mine is all I can ever please
+


                          
It's enough for me to see you with glances stolen
And make sure that you still haven't forgotten
+


                          
How long will this silence last? I do not know
I'm fine with it, as long as you look at me like that before you go.
