There’s a very specific look that two people in love share.
It’s the recognition of the deeper self of the other person.

When I look at you in such a way,
consider yourself a lucky woman;
because I’m looking directly into your eyes,
creating an invisible attraction
that connects the both of us.

I am not simply looking at you;
I am looking into your soul.

I am trying to get a glimpse of the you
that remains hidden beyond your eyes;
the youthat I fell in love with so deeply.
The youthat I am now convinced
shares the same emotional love for me.

Your attentiveness toward me this week
has made my life extremely special.

Ensuring that I take my medication,
preparing my meals,
and soothing me with the chilled ice pack
that made a sick man want to stay sick.
