Stolen Glances

We discussed your facial expressions:

we could only identify two.

One includes a smile,

which can spell out many things.

And the face of indifference,

which can spell out many things.

As I try to read any expression of emotion,

I fall deeper and deeper into my search.

I have also seen your face of annoyance,

in my attempts to grab your attention ever so briefly.

But what else can I do?

I told myself I wouldn't take any chances,

But how long can I survive on solely stolen glances?

I have seen your face of deep thought,

trying to grasp an idea I have suggested.

How I wish I can hear these thoughts.

I believe you're held back due to the current circumstances,

I subtlety continue observing via stolen glances.

Getting closer has ironically pushed us away.

Sharing a laugh with you,

has been the highlight of my day.

Make no mistake,

I am far from fallen,

But I can already imagine crashing to the ground.

I have decided to stop looking to start new romances,

instead taunting my heart and soul,

to make due with stolen glances.

As I try to understand anything to do with you,

I am too blinded to see.

I am too blinded to realize,

why on earth would you want me?

I sit in the shadows of my thoughts,

waiting for an answer to any of my inquiries.

sitting in the shadows of my thoughts,

as time advances,

surviving on a spare number of words,

and stolen glances.
