As I gaze into your eyes,
I witness the hopes and dreams of a young lad,
The innocence within them, undiminished by time.
As I gaze into your eyes,
A fire and passion burn ever bright,
I watch you grow, uncertain of what the future holds.
As I gaze into your eyes,
Values you uphold, preserving warmth in your heart,
I see that twinkle, hoping never to witness you cry.
As I gaze into your eyes,
Time marches on, yet you cling to,
A life different from what you had envisioned.
As I gaze into your eyes,
The once fiery spark begins to fade,
Yet, even as it dims, you navigate your way.
As I gaze into your eyes,
I see a man whom I adore,
A pure heart enduring as ever before.
As I gaze into your eyes,
You smile, leaving me in ponder,
You claim weariness, and I wonder why.
As I gaze into your eyes,
Once ablaze with passion and life,
They settle, dimming down.
As I gaze into your eyes,
You meet my gaze, offering that once radiant smile,
And say, \"It\'s time to go.\"
As I gaze into your eyes,
You reveal words long kept,
\"You see, your eyes, so lovely, all you\'ve been through,
In our gaze, I found a love beyond compare.
Though mine now fade, believe this to be true,
I am joyous, looking at you.
When I gaze into your eyes, it\'s not goodbye,
Just a moment\'s rest, for both you and I.
As we rest, the fire within us will burn brighter once more.\"
