Your eyes,
My eyes,
Across a crowded room.
We catch each other looking...

Do you laugh at me behind closed doors?
Does she know what we used to be to each other?
Her hand in your hand,
Your arm around her protectively.
Keep going, I am always watching.

Sometimes, I must confess
As I breathe in the scent of your skin
As you trace the curve of my hips
As we hold each other tightly
