quiet conversations

quiet conversations 

shoulder to shoulder 

me looking up, you looking down 

laughing eyes, small smiles 

 

quiet conversations 

about nothing 

about everything 

quick wink, silent giggle 

 

quiet conversations 

we're bored

but don't want to be rude 

so we pretend it's important 

 

quiet conversations 

your hand on my elbow

i'm upset, you bring me back 

slow steps away

 

quiet conversations 

you and me 

shoulder to shoulder 

laughing eyes, silent giggles
