I was too afraid to say a word
So I sat there, looking at you

Your eyes are like the chocolate, thought I
Enticing, sweet, comforting, and kind
Your eyes are like a fireplace, thought I
Radiating with warmth, hope, and truth
Your eyes are like a swift stream, thought I
Swirling with thought and imagination
Your eyes are like the moonlit stars, thought I
Beautiful gems, bright diamonds, glittering love

Suddenly, for an instant, they found me
And they pronounced me guilty of looking
I was too afraid to say a word
So I sat there, looking at my toes
And I couldn't stop thinking
If only I was not too afraid
Then, what word would I have said?
