The Look
I ran into you
not long ago.
Our conversation was awkward and strained.
Something was missing
from our presence,
and in its place were things I can’t explain.
Or maybe I can
express something.
It was a look that you entertained
and you saved for me.
Almost suddenly
My ego would shout, “I’m a man again.”
That’s what was missing,
not you, but me,
the feeling in me which your look contained.

Seeing yourself through eyes that are not yours?
Pretty picture, isn't it?

I don't look so bad through your eyes, LftH, and that's how I prefer to see myself.

I thought this was going to be about "the look" the one my brother gives me when he does not approve of something I've said.
I was pleasantly surprised to read your post.
"the look you entertained" Paul, I love your way with words.

"the feelings in me which your look entertained"
Wow,
I love that sentence too...I reminds me of the reason why dogs come up to people and seemingly want you to pet them...they are only doing it for you...because YOU feel good when YOU pet them!

I wonder if that girl knew what she did for you during that "awkward and strained conversation"
????????????????????????????????????

Thanks roe, I'm sure she felt it. I'm not sure if she could have pinpointed exactly what she felt though...probably strained and awkward.
