something caught her eye, someone entering the room, never has she seen a person such as this.
his smile, his eyes, his unknowing and innocent features.
who is this man that caught her eye?
why now, why at all?
what is she to do when she knows he's not you?
just one touch, just one glance, she only desires just one kiss.
what is she to do when she knows he isn't you?
she flirts and smiles, wishing he would too, wanting to take a chance and know the cost.
held back by loyalty, stopped by self-control, knowing what she knows, she must let it go.
what is she to do when she knows he's not you?

I think that the third line from the bottom is supposed to be "held back by loyalty" not my. This is very good, but it doesn't have a poetic feel to it for me, it feels more like I'm reading the beginning of a short story. For me, the last line I think should be different, maybe something like that's what she has to do, or something, because the two lines above it have established that she is going to be faithful. I do like this piece, it's nice to see not everyone gives in to temptation. Thanks for entering. whisper
