There & Back Again

You looked right down into my very soul this evening. Your eyes darted around the crowded room, but they found mine, locking onto me like I was the only one there. You crooned your sweet songs into the microphone, your eyes grazing over me. I sang them right back to you, unable to do anything but smile like a damn fool. In those moments where our eyes met and couldn't move on, I felt alive. Sincerely alive. It was about time I felt alive again.
