Your Eyes, 1

If I don’t hold your gaze,
perhaps it is because
you are so beautiful
that I would weep for joy
just to look into your eyes.

That can make small talk awkward.


Your Eyes, 2

If I hold your gaze
perhaps it is because
I want you to see your beauty
reflected in my eyes

And know
how much
you are
loved.
