Forever Is In Your Eyes

The eyes are the windows to the soul
At least that is what we've been told
They hold the truths we claim as our own
They mirror the life we've endured
No one bothered to tell me though
That I would find my forever in your eyes

One fleeting glance in your eyes
That was all it took
I fell into them heart and soul
With that first passing look

Your eyes house endless wonder
Like the vastness of the sea
Every time I glance your way
They hold me hostage; they drown me
I sink into who you are; I don't wish to swim
I want to be swallowed whole by what I see in you

Getting a glimpse of your soul
Forever is etched upon your eyes
Laughter dances across them
Chasing away the tears caused by lies

I could spend a lifetime staring into your eyes
In them I see us years from now
I see the journey we will travel hand in hand
I see the mountains we must climb
I see the joy that we'll share
I see my future, your future, our future

I'm terrified to blink, to look away
Afraid this vision will meet its demise
You've given me a glimpse into the future
Forever is in your eyes
