It's Your Eyes

It was her eyes that first caught my attention. A soft blue. Not that baby blue crap like you hear about in the songs. No, more like the sky on a cloudless sunny day, when you're sitting on a boat fishing and nothing is biting so you look up at the sky and that's what you see. The blue of her eyes. 

I first saw her at the breakfast joint. She was my waitress and when she looked at me I saw the beauty of her eyes. And I fell in love.   See more...
