When Brown Eyes Meet
<p>Strange how strangers Become our greatest changers</p>
<p>Listening once made me want to listen forever.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">That a new name in my phone would matter this much,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;"> I would have thought never.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">For the laughter he brought, I missed him even when he was around.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;"> The world seems colourless, before his eyes they're lovely brown.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">He made me want to talk, he heard what I never said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">He smiled at me in ways I cannot forget.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;"> I sit texting him in the same place where I first thought about him.</span><span style="font-size: 1.4em;"> Against this joyless distance, </span><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">I am still hoping.</span></p>
