Those Eyes

Lately I’ve been walking with my eyes closed

Waiting for someone to open them up

But no one dares to speak

No one seems to give a fuck

My solitary mind is a prison of mine

I am waiting for someone to fill it with memories

Of long talks and shared cups of hot teas



But don’t leave with guilt in your heart

If your eyes met mine only to depart

I am hopeful and joyful for the next pair

So I can search and seek and discover and stare

Wondering if those eyes will become the eyes I love

With a passion that not even Shakespeare could speak of

When will I meet those eyes that long to meet mine?

With everything about them expressing God’s perfect design

‘Cause my solitary mind is a prison of mine

But I’ve never met those eyes with such a magnificent shine

you don't find the eyes... they find you. But sometimes a little encouragement is needed heh.

They may say it's all part of God's perfect design... but it really all comes down to just you and that other person, and what you decide to do with each other.

Someday though... someone will stare you down, and not turn away, and instead just look for the longest time until it annoys you but you end up grinnin anyway.
