Do not speak

Let me look at you

You want to know who I see?

Some girls may see a handsome man

Others may say, "Girlfriend, your boyfriend is not attractive"

Some may say, "He is a respectful and caring young man"

Your mother told me, "He is a good young man; be good to him"

Your father said, "Both of you make a great couple"

What do I see when I look at you?


The sun who lightens my day,

The star that brightens my heart;

I see two hearts as one

The world may be complicated

My life may change in many ways

Whatever I see,

However I see my future;

You always seem to be there


As I close my eyes,

You are in my thoughts

My lips touch yours,

Your shoulders are my comfort

Your smile changes my world


Do not speak

Let me look at you

Let our thoughts speak to each other;

Let our hearts beat for each other;

Let our lips connect through sight;

Let our love grow


Who do I see?

A gift from life,

The love of my life
