a smile spreads across his face
as he looks up at me
with his intense brown eyes
that are filled with such a passion for life
eyes that look right through my skin
and find me beautiful
for the first time in my life
i begin to see myself in that same light
almost as if i've shed my repulsive shell
and emerged as something
more deserving of being cared about
i'm overcome with an unfamiliar emotion
but i can't see to find the right words
to express what i am feeling
so i sit here silent
with my eyes closed
fearing that when they open
this perfect moment will be over
and he will be gone.

OH, the excitement of the moment...
and discovering yourself as the jewel in someone
else's eyes.
Agree with Marge, just lovely.
