Smoky Eyes

It's only the time,
That I come to mind,
When smoke gets in your eyes.

Then you come my way,
Taking time from your day,
To visit, and make someone smile.

When I look for you,
All I have to do,
Is look for that smoky design.

You probably don't know,
How my trust for you grows,
Everytime that your glance catches mine.

And when we're in the midst,
Kicking back just like this,
My everything feels resolved.

Although sometimes I do get blue,
Thinking I can't have you,
I'm still happy that you're in my life.

It is no surprise,
How I breakdown inside,
Everytime I can't see past the smoke.

So, I'll stay content,
With all I can get,
With one glance from your smoky brown eyes.

END
