Look Away
Penetrating is the stare
Of one who loves.
Reciprocating mirror;
An endless glance.
Yes I know, I feel it too.
It fills the room.
Hearts start beating in rhythm.
We can not blink.
No moment will be wasted.
No way, not here.
Starting now is forever.
Ending never.
Nor will my heart ever fade
Your eyes shine bright
Like the end of a tunnel
Filled with despair
You saved me, not once but twice
Once just right now
Also the first time we met
You gave me hope
No, I cannot look away
Please don’t make me
