Love Poems || FINISHED

eyes

It's no lie that you weren't the first one to catch my eye.

There were a few before you, 

all of which had many admirable qualities;

funny, kind, competitive, and gallant

but when I looked into their eyes,

they never shone, there wasn't a twinkle or a shine in sight.

And I knew they weren't meant to be, 

so it was alright when we let things go.

but when I met you and saw your eyes for the first time, 

there was something about you I couldn't quite place.

Your smile gave me flushed cheeks, 

and your eyes made me feel at ease.

they are the most beautiful ones I have ever seen;

more beautiful than all of the autumn colors combined.

although they are similar to mine in color,

they are smooth and dark, 

giving you a perfect and completed look.

yes, I know, why rant about eyes, that's so weird.

but it's the fact that I love every little thing about you.

That's what I'm getting at. 

I love your eyes though. 

They're perfectly beautiful, and I love getting lost in them.

They're the last thing I see when you lean in for a kiss 

and the first thing I want to see in the morning.
