the twinkle in your eye

In my mind I remember us both freezing in the doorway, then an overwhelming sense of feeling caught like a deer in headlights, then being temporarily spellbound for what seemed like far longer than the minutes that held us frozen in each other's gaze. It was a moment of truth for both of us, but so unexpected that I've been running from you ever since. You may not have realized that, that toss of my hair I threw at you as I turned away, that seemed to say 'Oh you noticed me, but whatever.' as I ran to the bathroom was faked confidence. I was struck dumb to even consider that you may have been attracted to me or wanted to know me. Then I surprised you by turning up, but as you walked towards me I turned to answer a friend and you turned away and wouldn't face me again. But then you made sure to run into me again. You turned and looked at me, your eyes raking me up and down - making it clear that you want me. But I let it slide. My sense of loyalty to the man I'm with is stronger than the will it would take to leave him or to betray him. His heart is so good and beautiful that it breaks my heart sometimes. Even so, in my mind you have gained a stranglehold on my heart and a secret spot in my soul.
