Analysis of Behind your eyes



I try to see behind your eyes
All the while staring at you
You stare so deeply too
Yet do not mind
So understandably I want to see you
I see your hands at my throat
And I do not look away
Not for a second, I could look the whole day
Your strength commands me
Without touch
You are so calm of me
You listen without a smile
Your concern burning into mine
I can't stop staring at your body
Our bodies failing together
Yet falling together
Am I going crazy
The more I look the more I want to see
If you could fit to me
Behind your eyes
Behind your skin
Your hands
Legs
We are so similar
Yet so different
I tried to see you all at once
You let me stare
But time passed by so quickly
I see you helping me
I see you so at ease
While inside I panic to really see you
More close in mind calmer now than I'd ever been
Yet you have grown more able of me
You are
unforgetable
