I look at your picture
Your eyes glow
Your smile brightens
Your beautiful countenance
Frozen in the time of a photograph
The apples of your cheeks
Lighting your eyes
Which search deep into my soul
And still reveal
The wonder of yours
Filled to the brim
And waiting to burst forth
Yet containing itself and hoping
I look at your picture
And see the love
Buried and longing
I look at your eyes and the smile
That takes my breath away
