In My Eyes

By Rowan

Stars pass over us as we lay side by side.
I turn to you and see love in your eyes,
the passion that I have searched to find.
It all lies there shining through your eyes.

You whisper make a wish as shooting stars pass by,
but my wishes have already been granted, why?
Do I deserve someone like you by my side,
someone like you with love in their eyes?

Since I lived being told so many lies,
can I trust this person by my side?
If I am hurt again I know I may cry,
into the shoulder of this man by my side.

You hold me close as I stare into your eyes,
I fear what's to come, the end may draw nigh.
I hold you close, keeping what is mine,
my beloved, the one by my side.

Make a wish I say as a star passes by.
You make your wish to stay by my side.
How much do you love me, you ask almost shy.
Count the stars and times it by the love in my eyes.

    This brought a huge smile on to my face :) It was beautiful..it sucked me right in..into this scene..I could sit behind your eyes and believe. And the last line..just sunk my heart in that warm butterfly kind of way. Amazing, Rowan.
