20. hypnotize

My lonely eyes search for yours
when we board the morning train,
desperate to steal a glance
I spot you looking out the pane.

Sparks fly when you glance back
my fragile heart skips a beat,
tingling sensation runs across
when our eyes slowly meet.

We look away momentarily
holding our raw feelings back,
and play a game of hide and seek
keeping our hearts in the dark.

I feel your burning gaze on me
as desire flashes in your eyes,
I stare back a bit shamelessly
as they reach out and hypnotize.

Snapping back quick to reality
I feel the blood rush to my cheeks,
blushing profusely, I turn away
only to catch you sneaking a peek.

I smile gently and shake my head
as the train finally comes to a stop,
you'll never know my little secret –
how you make the bass in my heart drop.

As we get off the train slowly,
I look over my shoulders again,
only to feel butterflies in my gut
when I see you returning my gaze.

I bid you goodbye in my mind
as we walk away from each other,
maybe one day we'll end this cycle
and maybe start a new forever.
