Stealing Looks

Stealing Looks

 

We keep stealing looks

Back and forth at each other

Trying to forget our past

Smiling to act as a cover

 

Past relationships that failed

Built up a wall to protect

Defending a wounded heart

Fears of a love reject

 

Lonely Way is a two way street

Needing, but afraid of love

Searching for courage enough

To take a chance again on love

 

I see interest in your eyes

But I sense fear in your heart

Like me you’re hesitant

To try to make a new start

 

Your broken heart all healed

But how healed if your still afraid?

Your mask of confidence wears thin

Giving clue to your facade

 

And I’m no different

Holding back my emotions

 Can’t make known my fragile state

Or fall victim to deceitful potions

 

Fear of commitment

And I won’t do one night stands

So why is it I want to

Reach out for your hand

 

You don’t know me

And I don’t know you

We spend our nights

Lonely and blue

 

And yet still here we are

Stealing looks between us

Can we be open to love?

Without all the fuss
