I love how you've taken me in—
led me to believe
your thoughtful words;
let me think
that your casual touch
means as much as it would
were there any danger of commitment.
I love your secret smile—
the one that hints of sharing,
flashed furtively across the room
so that no one else can hear it
telling stories only we know.

Please, don't let go of my hand
while we sit here together.
The wordless conversations
going on beneath our chatter
have drawn me in,
bringing me closer to you.
Keep staring into my eyes when we meet;
keep grinning as we pass,
keep hanging on my words
as if anything could happen,
and I'll keep being fooled
by the semblance of feeling—
until one day we can no longer tell
where the act begins
and the truth ends.
