you hate eye contact

and usually i do too

but with you, i would be content to sit and stare at you for eternity

your eyes are like chocolate, so dark it’s bitter to taste

or coffee beans that i grind with my own hands

you hate eye contact

but oh, how i love the little dance they do when i laugh

your eyes light up when your happy

i want them glowing when you’re with me

i need eyes like yours in my life

i need your eyes in my life

you hate eye contact but i crave it, 

you hate eye contact but you stared into my eyes, your pupils moving

over, back and forth, memorizing me

while you read my heart inside and out, i dove in, swimming in the irises, floating in euphoric happiness

you hate eye contact but not with me, not anymore,

because you know me and you trust my eyes to hold yours in a forever

embrace
