When I Looked At You

It was when I looked at you, That I got trapped. In your eyes, I was wrapped. Did you feel this entrapment too? Your eyes held me like a bandage, The adhesive sticking tight. I pulled away with all my might, I don’t know how, but I managed. Your eyes big and blue, With a gloss they were capped. When I looked at them I had to adapt, To the way they made me feel like I flew. You definitely had the advantage, Over me with your eyes so bright. You had me filled with fright, That you would leave me with some damage. But when I looked away I felt brand new. With a feeling of being rapt. My heart flipped and flapped. It was when I looked at you.
