The Beauty of Your Eyes

(Written January 5, 2006, at age 18.)

I believe in the beauty of your eyes,
I believe in hesitant truths more than fervent lies,
I believe in stubbornness, and the occasional compromise,
I believe in the wind when a bird flies,
I believe in a struggle when someone tries,
I believe in the wit of the wise,
I believe in sometimes hiding in disguise,
I believe in the rigid's demise,
I believe in the blackness of stormy skies,
I believe in life when someone dies,
I believe, foolishly, in love's guise,
I believe in you in handsome ties,
But most of all
I believe in the beauty of your eyes.
