Re-Writes..."Something In The Way"

“your eyes. your smile. there’s something about the way you look at me. something the way you watch my movements, my expressions. i can’t explain it. but it’s magical. still, there’s one look in particular that captivates me every time i see it. you do it whenever i say something that you want to laugh at, but instead you turn away from me. as if trying to conceal your happiness. i often wonder why you hide so precious a gift from me? i love to see you smile. but that’s not the look. it actually occurs in those moments after you turn back around to face me. then, there it is. you look at me with those brown eyes and that beautiful smile and just for a second, i become flustered. but your face reassures me of my doubts and fears. i know this may sound funny but it’s like i can see love in your eyes. they sparkle with a luminous glow that rivals the sun and twinkle like the brightest stars at night. and i see affection in your smile. with a leer so perfect i recall it every time i’m down and in need of comfort. reviving the image in my dreams, my daily thoughts, my heart. i’m sure that if anyone actually knew what love looked like, they would describe that look. because there’s something in the way you look at me.”

sometime in '00 or '01, i don't remember the exact date.
