What in the world are you to me?
Well, to me, you are the world.
Not because you have sea blue eyes
Tinted through with grass green,
Nor because your hair is as brown
As the earth shot through with sun.
But because you ARE my world,
Because all I can see is you.
In lessons the gentle curve of your smile,
So contagious in its life,
In lunch the warmth of your laugh
Which I ache to achieve.
I long for you and need you,
Not in body but in presence
For it is only with you that I can see
Something other than your eyes, your hair, your smile
With you I can see the earth
But you are my world
And you can blot out the sun
