How Did These Eyes Lose You?

We've both been here before

Time and again.

Trying to turn to lovers,

From something meant as only friends.

Our eyes met once

I swore we were meant to be.

Two hearts and two pairs of eyes

Lost in destiny.

You couldn't see for yourself

The beauty I beheld

"Not always perfect; but perfect for me,"

THAT was my pledge to tell.

I longed to look at you forever,

If you'd return my gaze.

Each moment together since the first,

Always left me so amazed.

One moment, I gazed upon you.

Then, suddenly, you weren't there.

How did I let these eyes wander for a second,

And lose our passionate stare?

Gone, but not forgotten,

A beauty not unseen.

For a fleeting look, I saw another princess,

Now these eyes have lost a queen...

Gazing into emptiness of,

Another passion left unserved;

Lonely here but wishing upon you,

The passion YOU deserve...
