Little things we do…
I look up, there you are.
Sitting so close, yet somehow so far.
Your quiet gaze is reeling me in,
I want to resist, but still I cannot win.
On you patiently I’m waiting, cheerfully anticipating,
But with every absent look from you all my hopes are fading.
I question my actions, did I do something wrong?
So I try to drown your cold silence with your favorite song.
As I sing to myself, and am about to walk away,
“You sing so beautifully” you suddenly say.
I smile in surprise as my dismay is melting away, “For you I’ll sing everyday” I cheerfully say.
Now your distant look has departed,
Assuring me you’re still happy and warm-hearted.
Bringing you happiness is what I desire,
But for this, your undivided attention sometimes I require.
Again, I look up and still there you are,
Still sitting so close, and no longer too far.
