Analysis of Green Eyes
My fare lover tell me what was undercover
A friend am I or figure of a mother
To me it could never to be of brother
For closer then friends and closer lovers
What lies under those green eyes?
If only when I can run my fingers
Along your skin, feelings of love do linger
What emotions can you truly bring her
To you, who was, could you leave her
Question of "whys" to these silent sighs
Do you 'gret or call from a simple mistake
Knowing with me all from love to be at stake
If only the past we could fix and future's make
A yearning for more love at its wake
A never-ending goodbye with those green eyes
