THIS LOOK
Kaleena Cote

Even though it's fresh and new
There's something I like that we do
A conversation without sound
It makes my heart begin to pound

It's very brief but very real
I know it's something we both feel
Or maybe I just have no clue
(I'm pretty sure I can read you)

Like laughter muffled by a hand
Like toes wiggling in the sand
It's brief and subtle but it's there
Like wanting truth but choosing dare

Like butterflies caught in a net
Like when it rains and you get wet
It's just this look that makes me grin
And glow outside and deep within

It's just this look no one can see
Except for you, except for me
A conversation without sound
I like this language we have found
