Wander
As we sit in front of each other,
my eyes wander
but yours stay still,
Just as time freezes
and I feel a chill,
My heart beat rises till
I feel my face start to heat up,
and the sudden realization hits
And bit by bit
Seconds pass, but suddenly you seem so far away The cold side of your shoulder felt as if evening days, had gone and went
There was no wind
But I was pinned to the ground as if stuck,
With no way out,
No other route, that would help me escape your eyes And the soft look on your face.
The skies couldn't compare and the sun couldn't shine brighter,
Or hurt my eyes any more than the fear that you would look away
And I'll be left with another day of countless thinking, But when blinking, you were gone, and in an instant, I realized where I was
And as we sat in front of each other,
my eyes stayed still
But yours wandered
