Unspoken Gazes
I find myself lost in thought, pondering your eyes,
Those windows to a soul I long to know.
What secrets do they hold, what truths disguise?
What stories could they tell, what feelings show?
Are they deep pools of brown, warm and inviting,
Or piercing blue, like skies on summer days?
Perhaps they're flecked with gold, forever lighting
The path to your heart through their gentle haze.
I wonder what they'd say if they could speak,
What whispers they'd impart, meant just for me.
Would they reveal the words you dare not speak,
Or guard their mysteries like a stormy sea?
Do they soften when they catch my gaze,
Betraying fondness you try to conceal?
Or do they dart away in shy amaze,
Afraid of what their lingering might reveal?
What do they see when they look upon my face?
A friend, a lover, or something in between?
Do they search for flaws, or find a grace
That in myself I've never truly seen?
I long to lose myself in their depths,
To read the story written in their hue.
To count the lashes, watch the subtle steps
Of emotions dancing, honest and true.
But then I pause, and let the moment pass,
For some things are better left unknown.
The mystery of your gaze, like fragile glass,
Might shatter if examined or o'erthrown.
So I'll wait for now, and let time unfold
The secrets that your eyes might one day share.
For some truths are too precious to be told,
And some connections too rare to ensnare.
Perhaps one day, when the time is right,
We'll lock our gazes, and in that silent space,
Find all the words we couldn't quite
Express aloud, in one long embrace.
Until then, I'll cherish each fleeting glance,
Each accidental meeting of our eyes.
Content to let fate guide our dance,
And keep the mystery as our sweet prize.
For in the waiting and the wondering too,
There's beauty in what's left unsaid.
The possibilities between us two,
Alive in glances and the paths ahead.
So let your eyes speak their silent song,
I'll listen with my heart, patient and true.
For whether this takes a moment or a lifetime long,
The story of us is forever new.
