Two eyes connect in a deserted room,

And regretfully I could not pull away

And become another stranger, curious I stared

And gazed into him as far as I dared

Till slowly it swelled in the mind;

Then take the mystery, as silent as long,

And knowing maybe the choice approaching,

Because it abides curiously and refuses escape.

Though as for us the question here

Had torn us apart nearly the same.

And appalling that day quickly turned

To tears No reason was justified quietly.

Oh, I cried voiceless beyond broken boundaries

Yet helpless how strangers transform towards friendship,

I questioned if we could ever go back.

I shall be delivering this with a cry

So that our time and memories afterwards:

Two eyes connected across a room, and we—

We continue the awkwardness and purposefully remain near,

Because we are unable to break.
