Looking At You

by Inside the Liar   Feb 17, 2009


Looking at you
I see a future
I see forever in your eyes
And your heart on your sleeve

I could talk to you
All day long
And never run out of things to say.

I don't care
About the logistics of it.
Don't care what x+y comes out to.

Because looking at you
I know without a doubt
That if I could,
I would give you the world
I would give you the moon and the stars
And all the pastel sunsets you could ever want

Or I could just give you me
And you could just give me you
Because you will always be enough
In my eyes at least

Because looking at you,
I see you
I don't see who you think you are
Or who you think you should be
I see you

The person I want to give my soul to
The one who makes me laugh until I cry
The one person who is always on my mind
Regardless of time or location
Or even need of sleep

My dreams have been better lately
With you in them

Somehow during the night,
Though I know it's impossible
I wind up wrapped in your arms-
The warmest and only place
I could ever
Ever want to be.

Looking at you
I start to realize
That I don't have to be alone
Because maybe
You and I could be alone together

Looking at you
I see a future
I see forever in your eyes
And your heart on your sleeve

Looking at you....
I think I'm falling in love with you.

    "Looking at you
    I see a future
    I see forever in your eyes
    And your heart on your sleeve"

    ^^I enjoyed the opening, but didn't feel like you needed the "i." Maybe :

    Looking at you
    Seeing a future
    Searching for forever in your eyes
    And your heart on your sleeve

    "Because looking at you
    I know without a doubt
    That if I could,
    I would give you the world
    I would give you the moon and the stars
    And all the pastel sunsets you could ever want"

    ^^I adore the imagery within these lines, particularly the last one, however again I felt that you used "I" to much, maybe :

    Because looking at you
    Know without a doubt
    That if I could,
    Would give you the world
    The moon and the stars
    And all the pastel sunsets you could ever want

    "Or I could just give you me
    And you could just give me you
    Because you will always be enough
    In my eyes at least"

    ^^favourite part so far, the emotion in these lines is incredible.

    "The person I want to give my soul to
    The one who makes me laugh until I cry
    The one person who is always on my mind
    Regardless of time or location
    Or even need of sleep"

    ^^I'm enjoying this so far, but the amount of fillers are spoiling the piece for me (I, the, and etc) maybe :

    The person I want to give my soul to
    One who makes me laugh until I cry
    That one person who is always on my mind
    Regardless of time or location
    Or even need of sleep"

    "My dreams have been better lately
    With you in them"

    ^^I adore these lines, so sweet and heartfelt.

    "Somehow during the night,
    Though I know it's impossible
    I wind up wrapped in your arms-
    The warmest and only place
    I could ever
    Ever want to be."

    ^^I adore the sincerity and emotion within these lines, it really warms the heartstrings.

    "Looking at you
    I see a future
    I see forever in your eyes
    And your heart on your sleeve"

    ^^I liked the repetition, I thought it got the point across well without becoming overbearing.

    "Looking at you....
    I think I'm falling in love with you."

    ^^Beautiful closing lines, so sweet and simple, yet filled with so much depth and meaning.

    Though I found this okay, if I'm being honest I don't think this is one of your best, you're a far better writer than this poem shows.

    Wow, this was so direct and lovely, and sweet! You didn't beat around the bush or anything, and I wont pull it apart and anaylse it because it all works as one big piece. I like how you've used the form, it's disjointed and it works that way. I don't rate poems, just comment but I loved this, excellent work lovely.

    'I don't care
    About the logistics of it.
    Don't care what x+y comes out to.'

    Love isn't an equation, there's no right or wrong. Great way of putting it!
