Your Eyes

The other day, I saw your eyes, on a strangers' face
You had changed, but your eyes, they were the same
They were still smiling at me, sparkling...
I looked at you, and you looked at me
Both of us staring, across the room
And suddenly, for an unknown reason
The months slipped away from us
The time apart seemed only a dream
You called to me a hello,
Your voice like warm apple cider
Spiced with cinnamon, on a cold winters' day
Thawing my insides, warming my heart
Wrapping my skin in a vibrant tingling joy
And I answered you
With a smile, in my voice
"Darling, where have you been?"
