Beholding

I've always believed that
your eyes are the most beautiful thing to admire.

Not because they are coloured pretty
Or shaped perfectly
But because of the unadulterated and effortless honesty.

That I can see joy and sadness
Witness surprise and disappointment
Watch attraction morph into adoration.

That's what makes them so beautiful,
To communicate with a glance
That triggers a knowing smile.

To show vulnerability
Without moving a muscle

To get lost in that world of wonder.
In your eyes,
Will always be
My favourite thing to behold.
