Love Song

I love your eyes when you look away

Thinking somewhere else of what ought to be

When they’re suddenly blue for a moment of time

Then the colour goes when you look at me

I love your hands as a part of you

As they write a word just by staying still

When you talk they move, painting what you say

So I understand more than words can tell

I love your hair in the dark it’s soft

In the light it moves, red and green are brown

All the time it takes for a night to pass

And a lifetime grows as the day comes down

I love you now as you don’t love me

I can’t let you know you’re too far away

But I wonder now just what did you see

When you looked at me in that loveless way
