~Upon Me~
You can’t explain the feeling I got
when I first looked in her eyes.
They had a soft look of innocence
and a child-like surprise.
They were open widely
and full of expression.
And I’m sure that is why
they became my overriding obsession.
They were eyes that could laugh;
they were eyes that have cried;
they were emotionally scarred;
they held nothing inside.
Her eyes spoke directly to my heart
with a vibrant, but tender, voice.
And I sought them out among the crowd;
they were my only choice.
I didn’t want to fall for her eyes;
I couldn’t go through that again.
I wouldn’t be able to handle it;
the two of us—just as friends.
I only wondered how it would be
to get lost inside her fire;
to be her only vision of love;
to be her heart’s desire?
I couldn’t surpass the emotion
that I didn’t want her to see.
But I would have done anything that night
for her eyes to look upon me.
