Looking At You Poem by Phil Soar

Looking at you
Listening to me
Romance on a knife edge
You want to be free
Watching you smiling
While I act the dope
Knowing without you
I just couldn't cope

Seeing you happy
Is all that it takes
To make me smile too
Correct all my mistakes
So pleased I have you
As reluctant to leave
Your smile turns to tears
And you cry on my sleeve

Looking at you
Listening to me
Watching those teardrops
Trickling down me
Devotion to duty
Romantically sure
A love so embedded
And one that is pure
