SMOKY BLUE EYES

I would like to go exploring, please

In your smoky blue eyes

To examine the past pleasures

And pain hiding inside them

To observe the reflection of what you see

When you look at me

 

I would like to spend the summer, please

In your smoky blue eyes

To watch your reactions

To events as they happen

To try to find new ways to excite you

And make them dance

 

I would like to spend a lifetime, please

In your smoky blue eyes

To be there for the future

That is now only suggested

To see the world change but your eyes stay as they are today

When you look at me
