What Eyes Are For

I said I hadn't been sleeping well and she said neither had she. I could see her looking at me even though I wasn't looking at her. And I turned to her and she looked away. But I could still feel her looking, us looking at each other. I knew we were there together. I knew that we were saying all the little things we could never say, I know what eyes are for. But when we spoke we chalked it up to heat and stress at work, we said our diets were to blame, we called it too much sugar. Put the screens and chips away and everything will be better, she said. I looked at her and there she was. Yeah, I said, we'll be fine.
