Tempting Ballet

I look but can't stand
The thought that something's there
Words I can't make real
For what this is I feel
Could be but a moment
To hold for time
Not love just a crush
But your eyes are too much
The way you smile and laugh
It's a tempting ballet
A dance of eye contact
Don't know what to say
You leave me speechless.

Questionable

Ever since that moment
You have been a constant thought
May have been nothing
But I need to know for sure

Living Reel

In the middle of the night
When I am alone with my thoughts
Memories play like a film reel
Unedited and unfiltered
Raw footage
Everything from beginning to present
The laughs, the tears, the joys and the pains
All coming from the best seat in the house
My friends, and family
Loves that have come and gone
Nights out on the town
Times I've drank too much
Playback stops
I see myself
Laying in bed
The movie isn't over, it's just beginning
No credits to roll
Nor applause yet due
There are scenes to add
And an ending to pursue
