When I Look In Your Eyes

When I look in your eyes, 
I feel my world changing around me.
The ground begins shaking at my feet.
Buildings crash all around us.
The sky fades to a purplish-black.
Animals run for cover,
Taking with them all they have.

When I look in your eyes, 
A new feeling takes over my soul.
My heart beats faster.
My breathing quickens,
My hands shake uncontrollably.
I can't feel my legs beneath me.
Yet, still I stand before you.

When I look in your eyes, 
I long to know what this feeling is.
This new creation my mind has made me.
I need to know what my heart is feeling,
Why this madness has begun.
You say you have an answer for me,
And you say that answer is love.
