Those Eyes

Those eyes

Hiding in plain sight

Watching you at your side

As you move

We are in tune

Watching you at your side

I miss you.

You live and work and walk

You move and breathe and talk

You smile and play and lock your eyes with mine

You come by

And stay at my side

You sacrifice 

Your time

To intertwine

Yours with mine.

I love you.

You live you life apart from mine

Yet make room to love me.

Like I’m an important aspect 

Of your reality.

So I lay my eyes on you

As you do what you want to

And I am happy

Watching you

In the time I have to spare

When I am done with my share

Of living life and working there

So I’ll sit and stare

At the person in front of me

Playing his video games

While I sit drawing

Looking every so often

At his victories

And his triumphant smile

Looking back at me

Those eyes I’ll catch

While I’m working

On my own things

As we call

When the day brings

Nightfall.

We share and make time

To be at each other’s side.

With those eyes

We see each other.
