Quick Words and Unsteady Eyes

Quick words and unsteady eyes
Tell me more than I need to know
I keep the door open
Not that I want to leave, I need to see more than
What I see in you now
Our feet steady, our hearts leaving
Leaving each other's ill at ease
And your quick words have ended
Your eyes remained steady, on something to your left
If there will be a goodbye
I shall leave you with no decision to make
I shall leave you with goodbye
But we are begging our hearts to continue being strong
To overcome all the pain when the door sees us out
You ran out of quick words, your eyes occupied
The room has ran out of novelty to humour
As you try to find us and I try to find you
And as we run each other dry
My feet dragged me to the door
I stepped out, left it ajar, and pray
That you will peek through and see me leave
And somehow run after me
As I will, after all, miss you
As you were before your quick words and unsteady eyes
