Glances between us

He stands with her, but his eyes are elsewhere, A silent longing hidden in the air. She laughs, unaware of the storm inside, While he steals glances, where his true heart hides. His words are for her, his touch is too, But his gaze keeps drifting back to you. When her smile sparkles, his eyes lose their glow, But when you turn, his love starts to show. He looks at her with affection so deep, Yet his heart, it trembles, it longs to keep A piece of you, though he’s moved on, Caught in a dance that feels so wrong. She’s in his arms, but you’re in his mind, The love he once had, now tangled and blind. He tries to forget, but his eyes betray, Every time you turn, he looks your way. And though he holds her, his love is torn, Between the new and the past, worn and worn. He wants to be hers, but he’s still holding on, To the love he lost, to the one that’s gone. So he looks at her, but his heart belongs To the quiet moments where it felt so strong. A love once shared, now hidden in a stare, For even in her arms, he’s no longer there.
