Starry Eyes | A Poem

William Shakespeare once said, that the eyes are the window to ones soul, and that started making sense when our eyes collided. A gaze held longer than it should, felt like a handshake I didn't wish to let go of.

Your eyes spoke volumes, but I heard none, because directly it spoke to my soul.

Should I hold on a little longer or just look the other way?

This short poem is about the art of eye contact, about how just a single eye contact has the power to touch ones soul. As what Shakespeare said, the eyes are the window to ones soul, then could he possibly have seen how I felt when his eyes met mine?
