He held his breath as he watched her draw near.

His heart began to pound so fiercely, he was sure she would hear.

She cast her eyes in a side-glance with a shy smile.

He could not tear his own eyes from her, not now, not for a while.

If he allowed himself to blink, she may no longer be there.

So he held her in his eyes with a steady, unashamed stare.

His awareness of his surroundings began to rapidly fade away.

He memorized her every move so he could revisit this day.

She must be the sweetest thing to ever be kissed by the sun above.

How he longed to kiss her himself, as he tasted the flavor of love.

He suppressed the desire to seize her in a powerful embrace.

He simply tenderly used his eyes to caress the features of her face.

Then God, with a reassuring squeeze, released the lady's hand.

His eyes sparkled playfully as He said, "This will be your man."

Adam eagerly, yet briefly, searched the eyes of his Lord, Divine.

Then he turned back to the adoring gaze of his sweet valentine.
