What If I Couldn't Look You in the Eye Anymore?

What if I couldn’t look you in the eye anymore?

Then the magic of our exchanged smiles and glances would go unrealised

and I would never again know the colour

of unsaid words

I would never know what it is to look into your mind

and know where your laughter hides

I would never know what it is to have someone look at me

and see only love love love

When our eyes met

it was effortless;

now I labour to make my fingers move

so that I can find the words

to say I miss you

your laugh

your smile

and your eyes that spoke only of love when they looked at me.
