Grey Eye Glances Follow

So we walked down through
the deep and darkened forest
Laughing for a while
We joked of what we'd seen
And then taken much for granted
I took questions
Is there so much more to this
Than it now seems?
And turning toward the river
With your silence
With every movement balanced perfectly
And whispered 'neath your breath
It's only me
Next I found myself
Caught up within your calmness
Many others never knew
You wore so well
And the moment melted strangely
With some sadness
And what happened next
Is very hard to tell
I caught myself in sudden isolation
Cornered by my thinking casually
And then I heard your voice
It's only me
For you look at me
With quiet inspiration
Like an artist
Whose own beauty still explores
And again I fall far short of expectations
And the evening goes
There's far too many doors
So restless and intense
I pace my sorrow
Back and forth
Between the irony
And you say please don't forget
It's only me
