my baby doesn't

my baby doesn't let me kiss her
in public - "i don't do PDA's"
she tells me, adding,
"=( i'm sorry"

i tell her it's okay
i'll get used to it
but i wish i didn't have to
make sure we are alone
before i'm allowed to kiss her
and embrace her and i wonder
why she doesn't want our
love to be public

more than shyness is she
perhaps ashamed of us?
(i hope not - i don't think
 i'll ever want to get used to
 that)

or maybe she worries about the
jealous eyes and the envious ones
doesn't want them casting
the evil eye on our pure
and innocent little world

which is all that her arms
and mine emcompass
when we hold each other close
it is our little world
and very very private

i don't let go and
my baby doesn't
