i see you

I see you and you smile.
You just brightened my day.
Its that special feeling
. . when you think you realize
. . that the person you like so much
. . likes you too.

You laugh from across the room.
Your laughter wipes my tears away.
Just a thought, a kind word,
. . if only you'd glance this way,
. . and the joy no man taketh away.

In my dreams you appear.
You walk and talk, and I am yours.
But even when dreams
. . don't cloud my eyes,
. . the sun shines on my face
. . and I see love.
