Pure Love
You see that face
The one you've waited for
Even without eye contact
you're helplessly drawn in
as though caught in a whirlpool

Love at first sight
You could gaze for hours
...and you do
To touch that skin
To breathe it in

Love swells within you
No response is needed
But that first smile,
that recognition,
will melt your soul

Love in its purest form
Without condition
No other can compare
to when your eyes are laid
upon your newborn babe
