Before I gaze
At you again
I'll need a time
For tears
Before I gaze
At you again
Let hours turn
To years
I have so much
Forgetting to do
Before I try to
Gaze again at you
Stay away until you
Cross my mind
Barely once a day
Till the moment
I awake and find
I can smile
And say
That I can gaze
At you again
Without a blush
Or qualm
My eyes a-shine like
New again
My manner poised
And calm
Stay far away
My love far away
Till I forget I
Gazed at you today
Today
Today
