was that love
that I saw
when I looked in your eyes?

your face hovers before me
tonight, too many years ago
and I imagine
I can see
that look in your eyes

was it love
that I turned away
not ready to believe?

I remember you saying so
and not understanding
my fears
not trusting
the things that you said

too long ago
but I wonder
if I could go back

would it be love that I saw
when you smiled at me
before I
pushed you away
‘cause I couldn’t believe
