Posing

You look at me fondly, 

find reasons to touch me, 

but you always stay an inch away. 

I love being with you, 

in love with your big heart, 

but that's not enough to make me stay. 

I don't know what I want- 

don't think I'm right for you- 

but your eyes keep me here another day. 

I think when you see me

 you see someone else here, 

but she's part of your yesterday. 

Still I think I'd like to 

stop playing and kiss you, 

but I can't predict what you would say. 

So I'll just keep posing 

and we'll just keep flirting 

as all of our chances drift away.
