the light in your eyes

there's a light in your eyes, tonight.  a light i've been missing for weeks.  that burning you sometimes get when you look at me, like you've never seen me before.  i love how you want to touch me, yeah there.  and i love how your lips linger all over.  and your breath against my face, telling me how close you are.  the candles shadow the circles under your eyes, telling me how tired you are. but tonight, it doesn't matter.  i just want to fall asleep with you, feeling your arms around me.  telling me that you've never wanted to be anywhere but exactly where you are.  i've wished for moments like this half of my life, wondering when it would come. and now that it's here, sometimes i think i forget about it.  it's not the fireworks that people write about, or the sudden romantic folly that ensues, such as movies tell.  you came gently, quietly, and you knew it was me that you wanted. and you still know that it's me you want. and it hurts my heart every day.  not that hurt that is painful, but that hurt that makes you want to cry because it's so good.  so wonderful that you never thought you would have it.  like that box of chocolates you have been nibbling on, but you get those gross fruit flavored centers, and all you want is a good caramel one.  you are my caramel chocolate.  the sweet center i've always looked for, and wanted.  you are that perfect pair of high heels that just doesn't exist, but then there you are.  how can i ever want to be anywhere else, except where that light in your eyes is. it's enough, few things are, but for me it is.
