Just Because...

 Do you ever wonder what they're thinking when they turn to give you the up-and-down stare?;-))

I don’t like the way your eyes

Travel my body

Ear-marking its flaws

I’d rather you looked me in the eye

And smiled at me

because…

…because you like me and you hope that I will like you too

And because we are human and need lots of grace, oh my,

Because if nothing else, we have that common point of view

Then, just because of it we look each other in the eye

...and smile!
