Your Eyes

Your Eyes


You asked me how I knew.

How did I figure it all out?

I told you it is in the way you brush your hair
while looking in the mirror.

Honey, you are so beautiful and I cannot keep from smiling
when you glance over my way.

It is in the way you brush the hair from my forehead
when we are lying in bed together.
The way you look into my eyes and tell me how you love me so.

How did I know?

I knew the moment I first heard you laugh.
I knew with the first dance we shared.
The first time I pulled you close to me, I knew
and I whispered into your ear, “I know.”

Together you and I have come a long, long way.
We have been through so much,
both together and on our own.

I knew.
I knew the moment I fell.
I knew...I fell and I looked into your eyes.

Your eyes told me all I needed to know.

You asked me how I knew?

I knew because your eyes speak of lies.
