I Looked Into Your Eyes Poem by Kristi Wilkinson

I looked into your eyes
On the cold January day,
I saw the love that you
Shown but could never say.

You took me by the hand
Led me to your chest,
Held me tight in your arms,
Where I would rest.

Told me that you loved me
That you would never leave,
I was safe now in your arms
Holding on to your sleeves.

You led me through the airport,
Helped me get my bags,
Told me that it would be ok
As you held my hand.

Spent the next few days together
Talking about all kinds of things,
You even played your guitar a bit
As I sat and listened to you sing.

You kept an eye on me
In everything that we did
I asked you why,
“You’re beautiful” is all you said.

From that moment on,
I knew we had something certain.
I promise that I will always try
And never leave you hurtin.
