How Can We Look Away

How can we look away?
Their love is palpable.
Honest.
Real.
We imagine what they do when no one is watching.
Their love is familiar.
Intimate.
Obvious.
It’s as if they are touching
When they are at opposite sides of the room.
We’re sure they complete each other’s sentences.
Their love is true and we revel in it.
How can we look away?
