Happy Medium

"Let's just find a happy medium, okay?"
It's so hard to talk to you when you look at me like that.
"Don't hate me, but don't love me either."

Your eyes close slightly,
how they do when your mind is fighting with your heart.
"But I do. Love you."

It's getting worse now -
my eyes have locked with yours
and I have to blink
to break the closeness of it all.
"No."

When my eyes open you are still there
just as close as before.
"But I do."

Shhhh.
