Pretending I'M Not

I'm back here again, I'm the one who loves more, 
Retracing the lines of the one gone before.

I'll not say the words though they flood-fill my mouth,
Your eyes send mixed signs that I cannot work out.

How can I help myself, try not to fall?
For I'm scared our intentions aren't mirrored at all.

Committing the form of your face to my mind, 
My fingers move questing for the love they'll not find.
