Familiar Smile

That look you give

Your eyes focused on me

A grin on the brink of a smile

Cheeks growing with blush

A slight head tilt

As your smile breaks

You feel it and turn to hide your face

Then suddenly you pull the hair covering your face

Put it behind your ear

A brief look down and then back at me

A slight giggle, just as you start to speak

I know this is the moment

Where all your lies begin
