Peacocks

Our eyes meet and part, only to meet again
This dance that we do is teasingly sweet
I brush against your arm and pretend not to notice
You move a little closer, and pretend not to care
It's funny, the tiny games people play
We are nothing but peacocks, without all the flair
Still, I rather like this dancing, for right now, that is
The maybe's and what-if's make my heart smile
I think that I shall continue for a short time, at least
Perhaps see what develops, or doesn't
And should the dance end, I'll be none less the richer
But should it continue, flourish, and change--
Well then I'll just put another quarter in the jukebox
Learn a new step, and dance a new tune...
