By William Date: 27 January 1999
I watched you so closely today,
Trying to etch into my mind
The beauty you deny is there,
Waiting for just a little smile,
A smile you guard like it is gold
(Because it is). And then your eyes
Pulled me helplessly closer
Until nothing was left of me.
All that I knew, or wanted to,
Was in your soul,
and time stood still.
