Within Her Eyes

Looking into her eyes Reminds me of all the times I looked into yours I can’t believe she belongs to you Mesmerized by her I can’t take my eyes away Fascinated by her every move Intrigued by her infectious laugh Pieces of you in her are so visible From her stubbornness To her smile And I just can’t Can’t grasp the fact you had a life before me Without me Selfish of me I know It kills me to think you were happy before you found me I must admit the bond that connects you to her mother Scares me I think about all the what ifs And all the possibilities I think about the life I have come to know Could disappear Within an instant And even though you try to calm my fears They still remain They still silently haunt me I wish I could tell you about my doubts But I wouldn’t want to seem insecure I would feel way too vulnerable Way too defeated The more you tell me not to worry The more I do I can’t help but think about the family you once had And how can I compete? With years? With time? So are the ties that link us together, really the ties that bind?
