The way you look at me sometimes
Often sweeps my mind away
Only leaving images of your beauty
To help my mind pass the time of day

The look which I see upon your face
Needs not words to let me know
What your look does express so vividly
For only my heart understands it so

This day has learned to decipher
All the precious looks you send my way
No longer leaving me to ponder
Why you wanted me in your life to stay

As I receive the loving gaze you send my way
Which becomes the best part of my day
I find myself eagerly waiting to return
A look of love to you in that same special way

I sat with you
And could not
Find the words
That day…

For they escaped
Me because I wanted
Them to be so right

I touched your hand
For the first time
And my heart did
Leap within…

I hugged you close
And you also did
The same

And I realized at
That moment I did
Not have to say a
Thing

For you already
Understood me
Because your eyes
Told me so

That what I wanted
To be, you also
Wanted the same
Thing too.

Where can I go
to hide from
this image of love
that haunts me?

For even at night
when I lay down
to sleep, as my eyes
close I see your
smile…

When I am not
near you, the hunger
becomes much too
unbearable…

And when you are near
to me, I want to hold
you so very close, even
to the point of feeling
our hearts beating...
together as one

For I have become
overwhelmed by this
sweet love with its
enduring strength to
bind a willing slave
to its powers

And I know that my life
could never be happy
without you always by my
side.
