Your Energy Shifts
I can read your energy,
it shifts when he is near,
like a shadow cast over a landscape,
subtle, but undeniable.
Your plans bend,
changing direction like leaves in the wind
that comes with his presence.
I see it
your pulse quickens,
the way your thoughts drift,
as if pulled by an invisible thread
I cannot touch,
but feel tightening around us.
It boggles my mind,
how effortlessly he enters your space,
how your laughter fades,
just enough for me to notice.
You think I do not sense it,
the way your words twist
and reshape themselves around him,
like you are building a different world
when he is near,
one I cannot quite reach.
It is as if I am standing outside the glass,
watching you change with every glance,
and I cannot understand
how easily your plans unravel,
how the balance shifts
and leaves me grasping at what we had
before he came.
It seems it can never be
just you and me.
