i looked in your eyes
at first glance i saw nothing
but then i looked deeper
and i saw an extraordinary thing
a lifetime's memories glinting in shadows
feelings that were too sacred to be revealed
past affairs with haunting lullabies
oh those eyes

i looked at your smile
feeling no warmth but only sorrow
how fake this gesture is
how pathetic a way to express joy
never had i seen you laugh
oh that smile

i looked at your face
from a distance you seemed quite different
still the boy i knew but not the same
i had read the lines in your forehead
i had heard your dominant tone
but nothing was easy to understand
oh for you and your complicated face
