Looking in Your Eyes

I never knew what fresh air really tasted like

until I saw your face,

then the whole world got clearer.

I always hoped I had a hand to hold, a love as strong as

the one I learned to find in a mirror.

Now I know how beautiful life can be

I felt the way love swings beneath your feet, lifts you up,

you make it easier to breathe.

I'd almost given up on hope,

I thought I knew the truth about love and life

but truth I would never know

until the first time I looked into your eyes.
