6.3.01 One Look By: Jennifer Ly bka Paradise

One look is what you gave me today,
No spoken words to make my day,
No silly smiles to touch my soul,
No special you to make us whole.

One look is what you shared with me today,
No call to say "hello" or "how was your day?"
Just one look for me to home and cherish.
Funny how a flame can so quickly perish.

One look is all that you gave to me today,
I now know why the sky was gray,
Funny how you made the world fade today,
With just one look and then a glance away.

One look you gave that pierced me in a way,
I never imagined a feeling that pained this way,
And still there's nothing you have to say,
Guess I shouldn't have prayed you'd stay.

One look is what you gave me today,
No words to wipe the doubts away,
No smile to help me through my day,
And here I watch you walking away,
Hoping for yet ... just one look.
