Look Up

I tried not to look up
As i walked into the room
I kept my excitement under wraps
That finds me when i see you

Do you feel the same
Or is it my fickle flirtation
That's to blame
Once again I feel i found
A kindred spirit
Although i'll never bring myself
To say it

When i drove past the nursing home this morning
i saw your car
parked in the morning air
it gave me a fleeting happiness
To know what you were there

I guess im fine
with thing just as they are
Curiosity killed the cat
I tell myself
So it wont go any farther

Interesting, especially from the point of view that I personally have had mom, dad and granny all in the same nursing home.
