She stares ahead, but thinks, “Good God, who’s he? –
He looked at me and understood too well –
And yet I don’t recall who he’s to me –
Those weird judgmental eyes seemed as from hell!”
“Oh God, she looked so shocked – damn, what scared her?
I glanced at her, I think, just for a second,
But in that little moment we two were
Combined and, by some force here, likewise reckoned!”
“I want to run away – he draws me back
Towards those eyes I've never seen before.”
“I want to run to her – the air now black
With adoration, fright – some dreadful door
Has opened here for us to step in through.”
“But I deny myself and he does too.”
