Those Eyes

There was something in those eyes, deep pools of chocolate brown that sucked me in and wouldn’t let go. Eyes that told me you were strong, driven, rugged, and a fighter. Those eyes also told me that you were gentle, understanding, caring, and a good man. Those eyes were confident, they had character, they had wisdom, they had loyalty. Those eyes told me that you would never let me down. They told me that you would catch me if I fell, hold me if I needed comfort but, also let me go when I needed freedom and independence. Those eyes told me that you would believe in me just as much as you believe in yourself. They told me that you could take me away but could bring me home again. They told me that your hands are tough from hard work but turn to silk in a touch. Those eyes told me that you have the strength to be uncommon, the pride to fight for what you believe in, the integrity to be better than the rest, the character to live with honor, and the poise to walk beside me instead of in front of me.

Those eyes told me that you are a cowboy.
