Eye Contact

You can read so much through simple eye contact. 
        When my eyes connect with yours 
          I read so many stories
           stories of need, stories of want
            stories of what we had 
              and what we lost
            stories of desire 
             stories of lust
               stories of trust that we never lost
               Stories of companionship 
               Stories of your past
                Stories of temptation 
                Stories of everlasting affection and protection
                   Way passed seeing me as a sister
                   Way passed as a friend
                       When our eyes connect
                        the old you returns
                        and just for a second 
                           I see hope.
