Expression
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
You say it all in your expression
Alright, with the raise of your brow
What, with the raise of your eyes now
Yes, with a quick smile
Maybe, with a half smile
Why, with cross brow and hands on hips
Surprise, with the pursing of your lips
I love you, with a stare and a blink
But you say you know, when I don't know what to think
But I don't know how...
You know me better than I know myself
