monologue

by the time i look,
you're laughin',
smilin',
looking so weightless,
bright,
and charming.
starin' for a moment,
a second,
a minute.

by the time i look,
you're quiet,
starin'
at nothing,
looking so serious,
darling,
what could you be thinking?

inside me say,
[i can never be a reason
for your smiles
and doubts,
oddly,
never a subject of your thoughts
thus, finds
it sad to think
you may know me,
and that stays as it is,
period].
