Staring so intently into my eyes

avoiding some other trouble less pretty,

I wondered, what was it you saw?

Me, I had known from the instant

I peered behind your curious cerulean.

But you, you looked at me.

You looked into me, with eyes

too intensely and too immaculately comforting,

as if there were something else you saw.

In that distance I learned

it was enough to be there,

pressed two feet apart.

That a dormant warmth slept within me.

You proved this in your quiet

passing into sleep, a moment

now buzzing, embedded

in my stalwart mind.
