Eye Contact

It was nothing but eye contact
Because we haven't uttered a word
That was all we could do to interact
I prayed for the right decision from the lord
Didn't matter how beautiful her eyes were
Because they stabbed me in the heart…..
Like a cutting edge sword

It was nothing but eye contact
Because honestly I was afraid to act
Though I knew she wanted and expected me to
But I had no courage to make it through

It was nothing but eye contact
I know she was disappointed in me 
But she had to forgive me
Because a high school student could do what?
Actually he anything could do not!

It was nothing but eye contact
But eventually I even lost it
Hiding her eyes from me was a fact 
And that price I could never cost it!

It was nothing but eye contact 
Though she tried many times…..
To make a conversation 
I was avoiding her with no real explanation 
What made us apart and kept the separation
Were my unreasonable fears and hesitation

It was nothing but eye contact
For months we didn't speak a word
I was worrying about her and my feet got cold 
But she didn't care about people and was so bold
Will she ever tear up that page or even fold?
Will I ever get a chance to tell her….
What I should have told? 

It was nothing but eye contact
But when she showed me her love 
I didn't know how to react
The only thing I did was putting her off
She may never know how for me that was tough
Though I did that for her own sake
I still blame myself for it….
As my own mistake!

It was nothing but eye contact
Will I ever forget her glamorous hazel eyes…..
And her cute dimples when she smiles?
Will I ever forget how funny she is and pretty?
And how playful she is just like a little kitty!

It was nothing but eye contact
What I can never forget is our last look
And how painful it was and how long it took
I've been searching but…… 
Couldn't find out in any book 
About that way to say good bye!

It was nothing but eye contact 
And our eyes had a pact 
Which was broken…..
The moment I saw her eyes sad and red
Since then our eyes never met
And my heart knew it was the end 
It was my fault that I now regret 
The love that out of my hands slipped 
Because it was nothing but eye contact!
