Love Poem: The Stranger

The Stranger

Something in the way you looked at me.
Something perhaps I could see.

Your eyes lower, you flash a smile my way.
You make my chest tight, but I want you to stay.

So many words I hear you say.
But not once did your lips stray.

Turn your head, let me see.
What is it, your shy to talk to me.

Still I feel you longing, wanting to know.
But when I look up, you just get up and quietly go.
