It started without warning,
this need for your
eye contact.
Sitting in a dim lit room,
with only a few words
between us.
I never thought
it could be anything more.
But in the blink of an eye,
you took me in
and opened my eyes.
These eyes have been so afraid,
afraid to love anyone
ever again.
I felt alone
until you opened your arms.
Yet you tell me I've
made you better
than you'd been before,
When my greatest hopes
and fears are in you
and your admiring eyes.
I suppose it's time
to take the leap of faith.
