Your Eyes

Something I wrote about someone who seems to be everywhere I turn. It's interesting how someone fades into the background until you see them in an entirely new light.

Your eyes pierce into my soul. So intense and invasive. But I let you, anyway. The first time I laid eyes on you, you already had yours on me. But not 'on' me- In me. You look with such fire and passion. But it's in your eyes. Nobody knows except you and I, You can close the gap between us With the glance of your black as night eyes. "To be or not to be"- the first thing you ever said to me. Yes, that is the question. I was wrong to think of you the way I did- I judged you based on the company you keep. I'm sorry. Forgive me. That look says you already have. It was a sin looking into your eyes, I knew it. You are dangerous. And callous. And intense. The last words you said to me? How could I ever forget? "The fair Ophelia?" Your eyes bore holes into me- I couldn't look away. I was in your trance. "Nymph in thy orisons, Be all my sins remember'd." I could never forget you. You are my greatest sin. That was a long time ago. But when I see you, I remember as clear as day. And yesterday, when you passed me in the hall, You may have been yards away But our eyes met. Long enough for that connection- One that felt like years. Why did I look away? I was afraid you'd see right into my deepest thoughts. You're a chameleon. I want that flexibility that you have. You knew I was young- But now I've grown. And you have, too. Into something strong and fierce and distant Yet here all along. Maybe because you are the opposite of me- You're so dark, and I attempt to embody light. Did you see my innocence the first time you saw me? Because I think you might see into everything I do And infer who I truly am inside. I hope to one day gain the courage To find as much light in your eyes As you share with  mine. You know I want you so bad- I've gone back on the things I believe. You'd do anything for what you believe in. I am nothing but a coward- Deer in the headlights when you look into me. But I'm willing to fight for what I believe in. And I believe in you. And your eyes.
