Deja Vu

     

　

In the dark corner of a little cafe

I sip a cup of tea and watch the shadows play

Peek a boo upon your face

You have no idea I am watching you or how you make my heart race

I cannot decide if I should reveal myself to you

Perhaps it is better that you havn't a clue

To remain ignorant and innocent of my gaze as I study those lips, those eyes

Perhaps I remain hidden out of hubris or perhaps I am simply shy

I smile as I watch your gaze stray here and there

Those eyes have such depth and evoke a soul laid bare

I see that look go distant, as if you were miles away

Those lips part, as if they were about to say

Then just as quickly the look disappears

I drink the dregs of my tea, wondering should I even be here

I toss money on the table knowing now I must be leaving

Feeling at best it's only myself I am deceiving

I make myself invisible as I walk past

But for an instant I glance into your eyes now upcast

For that one sweet moment, in that Fated chance

You truely see me in that split second glance

Then I am beyond your point of veiw

Leaving you a little puzzled and with a feeling perhaps of Deja Vu
