The breath
the movements of words
the feeling is right
the eyes dilate
A showing of interest
its amazing that I feel this way
this way about you
I follow with heightened interest
I talk in a feverish pitch
My eyes dilate with visions of you
An understanding of needs to be met
of life to be lived
of relations with life lost
My eyes dilate with a portrait of you
The time is in my eyes it widens with time
with you, believing that time is but a shadow to us
a shadow in my dilated eyes
eyes for you
The breathing goes shallow
the movements of words making one stutter with anticipation
the awareness of you fills me up
with dilated eyes for you
