Those Eyes

oh to look into those depthless pools that bind me, and hold me captive
they catch my breath and hold it in  i cannot speak when i am with you 
i cannot  even think, all i'm able to do is smile in childish happiness.
to just be in your beautiful presence

my tears fall as i fall for you  and it hurts to  now look into those pools  and see 
myself as i know you see me alone sad a distorted image of the  presence i 
project, and i am not pleased  and i know you aren't either.

how could you be attracted to me? knowing what loves you. as i fall farther i 
promise to you  all i can, my love, my memories, all my hopes and dreams. i offer 
you everything if you'd just love me, hold me, or want me. i have your friendship is 
that all i will ever have? if so, I'll take it just to be close to you. it will do.
