your eyes are as deep as an ocean
that washes away all my troubles
like a magic potion
that turns my sorrows to rubble
i have fallen in love with them
and the man whom they belong to
although my reasons might seem dim
ever since i met you, i knew
at times they make me shy
ashamed of my true emotions
i realize that i shouldn't try
you loving me, such a crazy notion
i long for you though, against my common sense and will
but i hope that when you look into my eyes, you feel what i feel
