Taken

Seeing you that night
I whispered to myself, "I'm taken."
Trying to remember the face of the other one
That I'm supposed to love.

But your eyes...your smile
They lure me into you
And I need to know
Is your character as beautiful as those features?

I deny myself the chance
To get close to you, to want you,
But, in spite of that, we are close
Drawn together by a force we don't understand.

Your Soul speaks to mine
Frustration gives way to Perfection
And I know
You must be the One.

Now, I look at you
I gaze into the blue eyes that hunger for me
And I say to myself, "I'm already taken."
By you.
