What's there behind your smile?
Approval or humiliation?
Or possibly you're merely inspired
With deep thought and consideration?
What is there behind your glance?
I'll venture to catch a hint.
I surmise I stand a good chance
To trace the rays coming from it.
What's there between the lines?
I wish I could read your mind.
Your feelings are well disguised.
I'll leave my attempts behind.
How delightful that opposites attract
To encourage and supplement each other.
And what's there that makes me bother?
Not everything I can accept.
