I don't understand your faces

Your expressions are strange to me today.
I can't read your faces.
Normally one glance in your face and I know what you are feeling.
Usually I look to you and your green eyes shine back to me in clear sentences.
We can share profound thoughts in silence.
But today your eyes don't connect with mine.
Your smile is like fresh water I draw readily from the well.
Today I search deeply for that smile and you leave me thirsty.
Suddenly your countenance is foreign to me.
Your mind must be somewhere distant.
Where are you, my love?
