he said to her

all i need are your eyes.
nothing else.
i can break down the basic necessities
and how i need them not.

i don't need food
or water.
i don't have time for anything
but searching for your stare.
you are few feet from me
and i am full.

i don't need sleep.
i see you
and i am
revived.

i don't need exercise.
one casual look,
my heart rate rises and falls
with the intensity and duration of your glances.

i don't need shelter.
in our eye lock
i am vulnerable,
protected.

i don't need dreams.
my fantasies are fueled by,
possibility.

i don't need to touch you.
i've never touched you.
contact would only
increase my desire.

do not offer more.
i don't need it.

you want more proof?

i make excuses to walk past you.
i pretend i need something else
but like i've explained...
it's just your eyes.

i focus on nothing
else but,
our next exchange.

fleeting as it seems,
i think of it for hours.
yet i need just another
glimpse.

always,
just one more glimpse.
to hold me over.

all for not. all for not.

all i want are your eyes
(since no other part is available).
