To the Dark Eyed Beauty

Your eyes have
A gaze
That could reach
Into my soul

They can take
My heart
To their disposal
Or their keep

Your touch was familiar
And the first touch
That I've ever felt
Completely safe in

Your arm around me
Was like a shield
And I long 
To be protected every second

Your smile
Had me hazy
When you laughed
I was overjoyed 

I saw you upset
And you looked fragile
And I wanted to help
But I thought I couldn't

I saw you happy
And you looked beautiful 
And I wanted to
Make you my own

And I saw you shine
And my heart
Was leaping 
In sync with yours

So when my time
To try and reach you
Was up
I was devastated

Because I didn't try
Because you didn't try
But everyday I regret
That you aren't mine
