THE PAIN IN YOUR EYES

I see the sunset in your eyes,
the pain 'neath your disguise;
I see the dance, where you had wished you were picked
and the everlasting kiss that you missed.
And I'll walk with you through life.

I'll hold you close when you gain weight,
and stroke your face when you grow frail.

I'll kiss your cracked lips when you're sick,
and bring you breakfast-in-bed when you are fit.

The time's hands spin to oblivion,
and the seasons pass like shooting stars.

But there is one place that stands still,
and that is the love for you in my heart.
