I saw in your eyes
Someone I did not see
I say in your eyes
The person you saw in me

I could see the person
I had always wanted to be
I saw in your eyes
Someone I did not see

I had never been loked at
With such love and devotion
I saw in you eyes
Me without all the comotion

The time changed you
The look was not there
I could no longer see
All you love and care

For a short wonderful while
I saw all I wanted to see
I saw in your eyes
The person I wanted to be

This is a treasure.  I truely believe that love's truth is in the eyes.

         Through Your Eyes
Through your eyes...
I see much
The depth of your soul
The secrets of your heart

Through your eyes...
I feel all
The warmth of your touch
The gentleness of your kiss

Through your eyes...
I have love
Sharing our breath
Merging our hearts

Through your eyes...
I tell all
My life given over
To my trust in you

Through your eyes...
I offer this
The respect as one
The truth in love

Through your eyes...
I give to you
The passage to me
Through my eyes

Mark
You response was beautiful...
Thank you

It is heart wrenching that love does not always last, but it is something that helps us grow I suppose.

I felt these feelings before myself, but I could never have expressed them as well.  Beautiful work.  I look forward to reading more from you.

It was a beautiful poem....I never expected this ending...we find the right person only after being with wrong person/persons.
sincerely

Thanks for the praise
I can only hope that right person is out there somewhere, because I thought I had found him!!
