Thoughts Brought by Thoughts Begot

I look and smile,

seeing a smile I haven't seen in a while

It's been awhile since I've seen you and looked you in your eyes

Often we'd speak,

with tongue in cheek, yet tonight is different because I seek

A different motive than I've sought in such a long time

I see your eyes,

as often as I look upon your face yet still this is different than before...

I feel your want,

your fickle taunts; oh how I want to just go back to the days before...

You say nothing,

yet still say more

than you ever have before...

before...

I looked at you and smiled

seeing a smile I'd been looking for a while

( It's been awhile since I've seen you smile the way you used to )

We never speak

I feel incomplete; it's been years yet still I seek

The peak of our time together from such a long time ago

I see your need

as often as I see the decree if I fail to meet your greed as I often have before...

I crave your want

Or even a taunt; oh how I want to just have you love me like you did before...

I'll say nothing,

yet hopefully more

than I ever have before.)

I look and smile.
