The Look i Don't Notice
It’s the admiration in my eyes,
It’s your beauty that ignites that look.
For a moment, I pause
Not as though I’ve seen a ghost,
But caught in the thought
Of how lucky a man I am.
I’m simply someone amazed
Every time I look at her, it feels like the first.
That look, like I’ve been starved of light,
Unaware of it myself,
Yet she always notices.
Maybe it’s not just how I look at her,
But how we look at each other.
There’s fire in our eyes,
Sparks when they meet,
A quiet war between desire and tenderness.
You may wonder what it is that I see,
Beauty beyond measure?
Perhaps.
But more than that,
I see a reflection of love looking back at me,
And in her eyes, I understand
Why the beholder never looks away.
