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

The state your verse describes is all too familiar today A.P. where feelings are held inside from fear - - an apt final question then - "Can we be open to love?" - - hope the lady reaches out for that hand. A compelling read.
Thank you Fay, I hope so too.
Hope she finds you........
I've been looking Lorna, but as yet no luck. Thanks for reading.
Hope she'll be along soon - Great stuff AP
Even if she doesn't come along it'll be alright. I'm content. Thanks Michael.
A fine write AP. Love won't always hurt, maybe sometimes. Such as when I dashed ahead and married KP! heehee.
Thanks orchi.
Without all the confusion, hurt, happiness, love, emotions, and fears of human relationships we would have nothing to write about! You captured that first tentative blossoming of feelings perfectly, AP!
Thanks Fred. What can I say, I'm well practiced.
I believe you can, AP!
Great write! Enjoyed the read and clip!
~Laura~

Maybe time will solve the mystery and the song is touching. Wonderful writing.
Thanks m&m, either way, I'm a content in my life.
