The Look (When I First Saw Her)

With that look you sent my way,
Your gaze had spun me free.
A message was whispered then,
In a glance meant just for me.

That smile was so mysterious,
And pierced me through my heart.
I saw your hidden message,
And had known it from the start.

An emptiness cannot be filled,
With you so far away.
The hole in me grows bigger,
Each day you do not stay.
