When I look into your eyes,

I lose myself,

While gaining so much more.

Our eyes meet and I feel,

Our spirits begin to join.

I feel myself joining with you,

In a way that leaves me without

A full separation between

'You' and "Me'.

In my mind your whole being

Becomes a part of me

As I feel whatever is my soul,

Trying to fill you up as well.

What was a small, single person

Becomes so much more...

When I look into your eyes.

When I am looking into your eyes,

A change happens in me.

I become more complete,

Yet, at the same time,

More alone.

Your gaze enters me,

Flows into my being,

Filling me with feelings,

I thought were left,

A great distance behind,

In time and space.

You fill me with a warmth

That is a nectar,

Reviving all that used to be,

Before time, and circumstance,

Took what used to be,

Away.

Even though the body remains,

Outwardly unchanged,

The man within does change,

Into a better man,

Happy to be the subject

Of your gaze.
