You once looked at me the way you look at her.

Smiling in your eyes

Excuses:

To sit closer

To talk

To 'brush' hands

That was once us.

Not that long ago,

But eons different

But not us, there never was an us.

There was a you, and a me, eyes only for each other.

Oblivious

To all around us, as we talked

In our own little world

Now you are different:

Changed,

Confident

I am not.

Games are not always fun.

The 'Survey' game broke my heart

But I still love you

You bet I do

And I'll keep smiling if it kills me.

Oh yes, I'll keep smiling.
