I love it when you get that look
In your eyes.
You know the one:
It's the one that leaves me dazed
And mesmerised;
The look that melts me from the inside out,
And crumbles walls
And steals my doubt.
When you look at me that way,
I no longer want to hide,
I throw caution to the wind
And let you in with arms open wide.
And it's that look-
The one that makes me feel
Like for once I'm really being seen,
Something I've longed for
Yet simultaneously feared.
But you've seen it all
And things haven't gone weird,
So that look you get when your eyes meet mine
Closes out the world and freezes time.
It's a place where I feel safe.
It's a place where I can escape;
Where I can do more than just exist-
It's a place where I can live.
I love that look you get
In your eyes.
It's a look that I often surprise
When I catch you staring at me
When you don't think I'm paying attention
Then I know what we've got is real
Not an act or pretense of affection.
And I love that you can still be so shy
Despite all our history
And the years passing by.
That's how I know that I
Am so lucky - no blessed.
You're hands down the one for me
No contest.
And yes I realise you're imperfect;
I'm aware of your flaws
But I firmly believe you're my gift sent from God.
I just love that look you get.
Yeah, you know the one.
