Something in Your Eyes

For T.B.

It's like magic,
In your mysterious eyes.
Something,
That makes me smile.

The way they shine,
Makes me wonder what you're thinking.
What you think,
When I'm not there with you.

Your smile,
It sears my mind brightly.
It's cheesy, but it's naturally tasty.
The kind of smile that makes me blush.

The way you hold my hand,
Let's the electricity flow through my nerves freely.
The way you lean in to kiss me,
Let's the chemicals in my brain bubble with fervor.

The way your forehead crinkles in concentration,
Your mind playing notes as the translation to your instrument, creating music.
Beautiful memory,
Down to the earth.

Your nervous humming,
It reminds me of a cat's purr,
Soft and meaningful,
Musical even, down to your last note.

When you hug me,
There's a lump in my throat,
Choking back words and tears.
There is magic in the way my deadened heartbeats.

When you let go,
Say goodbye,
I try to hold you tighter,
With the knowledge that I'll see you again.
