Your Eyes Poem by Frank Valenti

Your eyes remind me of a time when we once were
When I thought your heart was true and pure
A sliver of hazel laced with a lot of green
Brings me back to when I was only just sixteen
Remembering the times we spent together so long ago
Nearly a decade later I still have feelings for you
Trying my damnedest to think of what to do
Wondering why I'd ever let you go
Seeing you almost everyday
Makes my soul scream inward
At the thought of what we could be
Keeping my heart quiet with all it wants to say
Holding on to your every word
All it would take is to make you see
That I will give you my all
And everything you deserve
Dreaming of us together in a wedding hall
That thought excites my every nerve
But still I know that you and I
Will never happen while you're with that other guy
All I have now is that now and then glance
That I jump on at every chance
Looking into those beautiful eyes
Feeling something inside me truly die
