What betrays you
Is that glow in your eyes
Your shoulders a little unguarded
Your chuckles and devout attention
To her quiet beauty.
The corner of your smile shivers
Trying to conseal your joy
I observe green eyed but calm
I used to be the cause
Of those love sick symptoms
I watch you gaining courage
Enjoying the rush of your little crush
She knows her affect on you
You know she knows it too,
And when she brushes her fingers
On your forearm you shift uneasily
You are alive in her presence
Hypnotic hold she has over you
A harmless little crush
You laugh intently paying attention
She leaves and you watch her walk away,
The possibilities calabrating in your mind:
A prideful grin on your face
you turn to find me
you know i'll be here soon
The crowd clears
And there I am sitting waiting
Your expression changes your mood
Darkens. You kiss me hello.
Hey! How are you? All right , you reply
Who was that you were talking to?
Oh nobody, just someone from work.
I change the subject.
I've ordered your favourite to save time
You seem quiet?
Just busy, did you remember to pay the bills? You ask.
Did them before lunch to save us some time
We eat quietly.
Now the escape.
Well I've got to go see you at home
Don't forget to pick up the kids p
I'll be home at 11:00 gotta work late. I say
With who? You ask.
Oh Nobody, just someone from work.
There he is! I've got to fly,
I kiss you goodbye.
I turn to greet him looking up at his tall striking frame
as we walk away
the shiver of a smile I try to hide
from the corner of my lips
Betrays me in your calm green eyes.
