I study your face
In my surreptitious ways,
Heart cradling your name.

It's been a long time.
Your being's traced into mine
Like day into night.

Now don't get me wrong-
Though like night and day, we belong,
Only dusk and dawn

Will ever be ours.
Lesser and greater powers'll
Steal til their term sours,

Their days blind and dazed.
In my surreptitious ways
I study your face.
