When I Close My Eyes

When I close my eyes

I see us walking side by side

I see your eyes loving and looking at

every part of my face

my eyes, my lips,

as I am loving looking

back, at every part

of yours

When I close my eyes

I feel your heart beating

against mine

as you press up 

against me

beating with passion

I feel so loved

and wanted and loved

When I close my eyes

I see your skin, so brown

I see every hair

dancing across your face

your lips,

every line

every flaw

I see your eyes and they

are saying something beautiful

and sweet

When I close my eyes
