When I look into your eyes, I see a mirror
Somewhat like the Mirror of Erised...your eyes,
your eyes reflect, your heart knows, always,
even before I realize...
what my heart wants,
my deepest desires, aspirations,
my devotion and my passion..
And you nurture all, with love and care
Giving wings to my dreams, a gift rare!
And if I ever doubt myself,
all I have to do is look into your eyes,
and my fluttering heart finds peace,
in your calm, soft, brown eyes.
Reassuring me, inspiring me,
Nudging me gently to go on, to live!
