Blue Irises Here I was minding my own business, Doing my work and paying no attention, Until you walked by, And gave me a look quite sly. I'm not sure what it was for, But then yes I do, of course. There was so much to read in your eyes, So much to understand in those irises of blue ice. Then walked on you, like nothing happened, And I watched you go. But I couldn't help but remember, Our story now two years ago. The promise you made me that I'd be yours, That together we would watch the calm shores. That we were destined to be, That linking hands we'd walk, you and me. Your eyes spoke of swift goodbyes, Of how quickly time really flies. As if in reminisce of the chance we had, And the broken bond you placed in my hand. They spoke in happiness, Of that very day we spent. Of the laughter and star showers, Of how we only had twenty four hours. But they also spoke in sadness, Almost in grief. Of how you looked me into the eyes, And gave the heartbreaking speech. You've been with her for two years, But the glances don't stop. They spoke in desire, The flames growing hot. We don't even speak to each other, We walk on by, quiet as a shudder. But we both know there's a spark still there, When our eyes lock and stare.
