His eyes sparkled like sun reflected on water. A sea blue with flecks of bright green and hazel. I was unprepared for the depth of his blue eyes, the way they looked at me said something I couldn’t understand. My words came to a slow stop as I gazed over my shoulder and saw the bottom of the ocean. The calm flow of serenity, but a splash of love hit the water, the instant I glanced at the man I would soon come to love.

This was a very beautiful description.  You wrote this recollection down with great talent.

Eyes have so much depth; they are the windows to the soul.
