I Saw You Stare

I Saw You Stare

Male Verse

I just spent hours sitting by the lake.

I sat so long my legs began to ache.

I thought I'd write some checks

Or use my Soliflex

Or play Diabolo, Poseidon or the Sims or Quake.

But now...

I saw you stare

Then look away,

I saw you stare

Just then.

A fine affair

Could start today

If you would stare again.

Dreams are sown

Whenever there's beauty in view;

I'm all alone

And longing to be all alone with you.

I gave up games

Of solitaire

Just when

I saw you stare.

Female Verse
I've just spent hours watching flowers grow
And may I tell you flowers grow quite slow.
I thought I'd wash my hair
Or paint that swapmeet chair
Or turn on Cinemax or TCM or HBO.
But now...

I saw you stare

Then look away,

I saw you stare

Just then.

A fine affair

Could start today

If you would stare again.

Dreams are sown

Whenever there's beauty in view;

I'm all alone

And longing to be all alone with you.

I gave up games

Of solitaire

Just when

I saw you stare.
