Analysis of Because You Looked at Me That Way
I felt like such a goddess then,
And forgot what I would say,
Because I just glanced up and saw
You looking at me that way.
Your dark brown eyes- they smoldered;
Some secret lust implied.
I felt at once so overcome,
And my world flipped on its side.
You smiled when caught and dropped your eyes,
Like a sheepish little boy.
This magical exchange of ours
Swiftly swelled my heart with joy.
Because you looked at me that way,
I felt sexy and adored.
And so, my memory now will keep
This exchange forever stored.
