Your eyes reminded me of cliche things like
endless oceans and
romantic sunsets and
smelling like your cologne.
Sweet kisses and
surprise tulips (my favorite).
Breezy days when I forget my coat
and wear yours instead.
Moonlit walks and
candlelit dinners.
But your eyes also remind me of
that
that
God, I can't even say it.
Your eyes remind me of that man.
And I know it isn't fair
but they remind me of the man who raised me
and that scares me more than you'll ever know.
