do i appear in them as foolish as i feel?

many years have passed
the thinning of my blood that night
the music and company built a shield
in mid conversation i saw her
she was engaged with another
was it she that had drawn your attention?

i excused myself only after i saw her
those same eyes
no, no, no, they were not
i ask myself what makes men pause?

eyes from the past
