Connection

Your eyes reflect my future.
Your smile explains my past.

Your eyes reflect to me a future that I’d never seen.
A kind of family, an unknown commonality.
Your blue eyes staring into my blue eyes feels new to me.
A mirror but the lines around your eyes tell everything.

Your smile explains a past I never knew a thing about.
A story no one told and I just had to live without.
That past is long-gone now and I was barely part of it.
The present’s all we have and you’re not in my heart a bit.

We’re all looking for connection.
We’re all looking for connection.
We’re all looking for connection.
