Shy glances of in-between old and new
And words are lost in time with nought to do
The days before are left so far away
Like echoes calling out another time
Somehow you are different today
I see a shimmer of light in your hair
And feel the sensual teasing of your eyes
Amid the warmth of simply standing there
And thoughts of love began imagining sighs
The pleasure found within a lover’s cries
And sweet tenderness that makes life sublime
This new sense of you I dare not betray
How can we play the game of me and you
With no words to tell you how much I care
