The Eye Catching

 

It won’t last, but it’s only just begun

Living fast, my moment in the sun

I set off, carelessly emotional

To show off, splendidly biological

To live what I am, make the best of it

Be open to see our simple mysterious planet

The eyes holding their secrets

Thinking they’ll tell me exactly what I want to know

Could be plotting in private

To make me do exactly what she wants me to do

You’ve caught my eyes inside of yours

Conversing feelings, knowing I want more

Waiting for them to return, to catch once again and smile hello to her

Heart pounding for the first touch

While a kiss could mean so much

By the way she looks I could dream our future

Still afraid I’m not enough

While we lie together

Overcome by a love to come

Magnetic heat between our chests

As I am so dependent of her

Why this odyssey confronts me

I can only look to those around me

And see how love is needed in this world

For her steadfast understanding

And thousands of places we could go

For the devotion to her family

And telling me exactly what I want to know

After I’ve caught her eyes

Will I ever capture her heart?

To see through the disguise

Where the river parts

Take me as I am

I’ll do what I do best

I’ll be myself

Realize I’m always learning

No room to panic

A hero’s heart is burning

Maintain my humble brain

Love that I can love

Play the rude game

Reach what I dream of.
