the ache
i feel
when
i see
something so
beautiful
and
heart-stirring
makes it worth
it when
i am
looking into
them-- those magnificent
eyes that seem
to say
"i love you"
without your mouth
uttering a single
word,
phrase,
sentence.

my drained
eyes gaze
back at yours
and they  tell you
"i know you do"
and
you smile
and
i smile back.
