She stole a glance
and her breath hitched
when she saw him.
Meeting his eyes
she looked away,
hiding her smile
in her shoulder.
She missed the look he returned.
He longed for her.
He did not look away.
He did not hide.
He wouldn't.
Not anymore.
He willed her to look at him
So he could tell her -
that she was beautiful
that she consumed him -
So he could tell her everything
with just the look in his eyes.
Having her there
so close
but still distant
hurt.
She was a world away.
He didn't see her look
that matched his.
He only saw her look away.
