Those eyes.
How they mesmerize,
catching me unaware
as I catch a glimpse
of your attempted hidden stare.
Wanting to look away,
but undeniably transfixed.
Emotions mixed,
belly churning,
and mental wheels turning
wondering if I should stay,
or walk away –
Do I speak
the words dancing on my tongue?
Or banish them,
into the recesses of my mind?
Lost in time
I now openly gaze into your eyes,
and you into mine.
We boldly speak
for the first time,
bridging the space between us.
You smile
And I’m gone - - - 
Unasked questions
already answered in the parting 
of your lips,
and a reassuring wink
from those 
mesmerizing 
eyes.
