"In Your Eyes" poem

In Your Eyes

Heaven opens up its gates for me

Angels sing song through the skies

The world is at peace and the sun never sets

Every time I look in your eyes

My heart skips two beats

Butterflies in my stomach start to rise

I drift off into another dimension

Every time I look in your eyes

I can be myself now and forever

I no longer have to deal with lies

I fall in love all over again

Every time I look in your eyes

I’m filled with eternal happiness

It feels so good I can cry

I’d give up anything at the drop of a dime

Every time I look in your eyes

C. C. McFarlan

This poem is very different from the others because I don’t relate to it. I do admire it and the way it is written. Each time I read it, the poem gives me a feeling of tranquility and peace. The author obviously gets a warm feeling of completeness when she looks into the subjects eyes. I’ve never experienced feeling that way towards another person. The only times I can remember feeling anything similar to that is when I receive a good grade in a class, when the Lakers win a big game, or when I get new sneakers. I guess one day in the distant future, I’ll be able to say something along those lines in regards to another person.

As of now, I’ll stick to playing cards or basketball and school work. I really do not think I’m a good time manager so I know I won’t be able to balance a stable relationship and school work at the same time. This state of happiness will have to come to me from some other source. I feel as if I’m too young to feel that way about a girl anyway. The thing I find extremely humorous is that the author of this poem is a girl that’s younger than me. I guess this shows me that my theory of feelings and emotional maturity does not apply to everyone.
