Surreptitious

She glances at him; her lips carve a smile

As he makes his way through the aisle

His eyes slide past her; she looks away.

He notices and hides his dismay.

Finally he catches her eye; his widen in shock.

Now she doesn’t look down; their gazes lock.

It’s as though time has stopped, frozen in a spell

Only broken at the chime of the bell.

She bolts out of her seat and out of the door

Her cheeks flush as she goes—eyes glued to the floor

However she cannot deny the little flutters in her belly

As she turns at a corner and stops, feeling her legs turn into jelly.

He follows her out the door, sees her disappear out of sight.

He smiles, secretly wondering if his intentions are right.

He doesn’t quite understand. All he knows is, his happiness is her existence

And that it is enough for him, just to admire her from a distance.
