When I Look Into Your Eyes...

Looking into your eyes
Feels like falling in a dream
To those around us
It must seem like we are having a conversation
We probably are
I am vaguely aware that your lips are moving

But
When I look into your eyes
All I hear are the distant echoes of what is going on above the surface
I am submerged
And on the verge
Of losing my breath

Yet
When I look into your eyes
I know that
I don’t need to

And
When I look into your eyes
I am in awe of the strength
I have
To look away
