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

    This is lovely and lively!
    I imagine seeing someone's eyes fixed on someone the more the person See's the more that person yearns for more.

    Beautiful. I get views but I never get any votes so I don't usually vote on people's poems.
