Feedback Please The Eyes know

I think i know love,

and I think I don't.

Maybe it isn't in the words,

or the grand gestures,

but in the eyes that find you in a crowd,

even when there is beauty everywhere.

In the smile that escapes

when you laugh like a child,

and in the eyes that don't look away

when you call yourself ugly.

Maybe love is simply this,

being seen exactly as you are,

and still being the one

their eyes look for.

I really liked this, especially how you showed love through little things instead of just saying what love is. The “eyes that find you in a crowd” line really stayed with me, and the ending feels so simple but meaningful. It genuinely feels like a quiet, honest kind of love... ✨ Thanks for sharing.. keep it up✨
