When No One Was Looking

I gave you my heart when no one was looking. The time taken to realize how mature we've become. I fooled myself into believing substitutes are better than substance. None of this was true. Giving perspective to how I sought what I already have. What I gave was vital. Exchanging hands while no one looked. A different insight to what we digested. How well we perceive. Learning to be patient while everything around moves. I gave you my heart when no one was looking Because it is something that is not easily obtained. To show a side of me that no one else sees. Over by the table while no one was looking because what's between us should stay between us. I waited until no one was looking as people do things out of spite. Disguising my heart in a red solo cup. Careful not to spill a single drop handing you this cup. How careful your lips were. The assumption that forever has an interchangeable appearance. It was never about what I could buy you. The exciting places I could take you. Sure these things come with time, But the experience of experience itself. Is what I obsessed with until the very moment. The momentary happiness material things bring never lasts. Just as the cup is disposable. It's the contents that are most fragile. Cleverly disguised due to our environment. I felt at ease. Giving this piece of me to you. Not of fear. Not of shame. This warmth shared in personal awareness. Your tastebuds the only witness to What's kept between you and I. The rest of the party carried on. While no one was looking we created our own playlist. Songs beginning with you and I. Nothing digested ever stays put
