Do you know?

I watched you in profile
Smiled because it forced back the crying
That threatened to rain truth across my face.
Do you know?

Stealing glances
Chanced you wouldn’t notice me noticing all of you,
Something I rarely allow myself to do.
Do you know?

Stored up images,
Your visage something to keep me company at night
When you’re far away from touch and out of sight.
Do you know?
