Did you dull your eyes to look at me? How do you hide your face so well? I have to watch my every move to stop that change in me whenever I see you. Relax my jaw and paint myself a smile. Breath normally. Calm breaths in and out. I have to still my voice to talk to you. Am I only hiding it from myself? I avoid looking in your eyes because they no longer smile at me. And I know you had to dull your eyes to look at me. But what scares me is you do it so well. And I wonder when you look in my eyes are they also dead or could you even tell? |

Endlessecho -- very tangible description of the suspense involved with attraction.  |

I heard a sadness in the embers of love... You wrote this very well. TD |
