What mysteries lie behind your brown eyes?
Whether deliberate or not, I cannot tell
Your gaze gives little away
Though not of your mind where secrets dwell
I too often wish I could read your ruminations
To see every feeling, every thought you conjure
Do you hide or hesitate or neither?
Where do you go when you start to ponder?
How do I ask you to tell me what you want?
A longer kiss, a softer embrace…
I hear your heartbeat quicken at my touch
Yet I see no reaction in your face.
Tell me what I have to do to capture your heart
How do I break through that stoic stare?
Let those barriers down and let me in
Share with me each moment of delight and despair
I wish to hear what I am to you
What is it you do not say or show?
For though there are times I think I understand
I’m reminded of how little of you I know.
