Sparkle in her Eyes

My 2AM wake up call

Is happy thoughts of you

Craving constant contact

Not knowing what to do

Your warm and tender smile

Sets my soul ablaze

The sparkle in your eyes

That come and get me gaze

To be alone with you

Is where I want to be

Tenderness and warmth

I desire you to see

These simple guarded pleasantries

When gathering with friends

Brief and fleeting moments

Not wanting them to end

To huddle you away

For a brief but tender kiss

A beautiful distraction

Momentary bliss

Alas this lovely vision

Is only but a dream

With you, my dear, I'll never be

Or certainly it seems

For now I'll take small consolation

In moments such as these

Engaged for only minutes

By someone wonderful as thee

To feel your warm and tender touch

If that quixotic day arrives

I know with hopeful confidence

I am the sparkle in your eyes
