A Different Shade
Is the grass greener
On the other side,
Or just a different shade?
Could one even
Find shelter
In a single blade?
A question I had to ask
As I watched him laugh,
With his whole being...
That I could not help,
But to be taken aback.
And what was behind,
That intriguing smile?
So charming and guile,
It was his company
I've found to be,
More than worthwhile.
His secrets revealed,
Impossible for him
To hide,
For he does not know,
That when he talks
On the things
He cares about,
A passionate glint,
Suddenly appears,
Into his eyes.
And I am left,
Questioning,
How was I,
Caught by surprise.
Leading me
to wonder,
Is the grass greener,
On the other side,
Or just a different shade?
I look over the fence,
Where he stands,
And I cannot,
Turn away.
