Lust

She glances in his direction
And he begins to smile.
They walk together and
He holds her for a while.
The world seems to fall away
And it disappears.
Feelings are coming out,
But they’re still unclear.
She looks into his eyes
Searching for the answer.
Are they just dreaming?
Or does he really like her?
Love is not the word to use,
Lust is the only thing.
What is the point?
If there’ll never be a ring?
She cherishes the time
Spent with her guy,
Taking what she can get,
Before it begins to die.
