“CARING EYES”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
If I’m not the person you believe I am,
but you discovered I were sincere,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring…

If my whispered words to you are true,
but you thought them not,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring…

If I kissed your precious soft lips,
and you felt the tenderness,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring…

If I give to you my loving soul,
and fragile heart,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring,

If I were to look only at you,
and speak softly into your ear,
my loving words would be
of sweetness with my caring,
when I surrender, only to you…

Once more, I enjoyed your minimalistic style and the "turnaround" of the last stanza in terms of word order/arrangement and meaning shuffling.  Nice style.
