What does it tell?

This urge to tell you about love
What does it tell you about love?

Silences, glimpses and a shared smile;
Alone in a crowd yet never alone;
This obsession to see and the desire to know;
A wild amalgam of your words and smell.
Running away from self,
Trembling at your doorstep
Turning away before you unlock the door
What does it tell you about love?

The premise to judge, my claims on you
Fragrant spite and muted tribute
Fingers locked and eyes straying
Blurred days and nights,
Your voice that haunts,
A single moment that plays in the mind;
Over and again like a refrain.
What does it tell you my love?

This need to know and the urge to hold.
This need to run and cast you away
What does it tell you about me, my love?
