I look at you.
I look at your hazel eyes.
I see my love.

The sun shines.
Your smile shines.
Our love shines.

One-by-one,
feature-by-feature,
every detail perfect.

One person,
one soul inside,
behind a hazel mask.

I take it off.
I look inside.
And I see someone only I shall
see.

I am in love.
I shall look at these hazel eyes
every day.

And I shall see myself
in them.
Because you love me also.

I hope we will
be together always,
for life lasts forever.

My darling,
my dear,
my true love.

Say it once,
softly from your hazel eyes;
I love you.

And from mine,
deep pools of sapphire
I will love you also.
