so what happens now?

i saw the
look in your eyes
it flashed as
sudden as it left. . .

the guilt,
the confusion,
the torn expression,
the bewilderment

i recognize it,
i've seen that
same look
not too long ago

inner turmoil,
pain not voiced,
i had to move
my stare elsewhere,

so you won't see. . .

that i went pale,
that the smile
pasted on my lips
was nothing but bare

it's all too familiar,
i remember it
like it were
a few minutes ago

are we back to that?

i hope not. . .

still i can't help
but hold on to you
and breathe in all i can of you
as if it were my last. . .
