Our eyes meet
And again I’m lost
How do you do it?
Just a smile and I’m tossed
You remind me
Of younger days
When the pull was strong
Of a woman’s charming ways
Yes, I’ve been in love before
Danced among the stars
Even had my heart broken
Decorated with scars
But that was long ago
My heart now all mended
Forget all the heartaches
Of past loves that ended
I look to the sunrise
For bright new days
To live a happy life
In a positive way
So please pardon me
When you catch my stare
I might seem hypnotized
In that brief moment we share
A feeling I’d thought forgotten
Concentration broken
My attention derailed
An attraction unspoken
You remind me
That I too can be lonely
Wanting to belong to another
Their one and only
