Driving Blind

I left behind what people leave behind,
So no one understood my feelings yet.
I hid a smile from everyone I met,
And told them you and I were driving blind,
That you were leading, and I didn't mind.
I didn't. Sometimes, though, we all forget
How men and women really act. We met,
We spun a story out, and were unkind.

Was there a sudden gust that left a mess
Among the papers? Did you see a spark?
Did you unbutton me then, on a lark?
Were new times coming for us? Did you guess?
Did I try too soon to unhook your dress?
Did you remember smiling in the dark?
