First they locked eyes with me, came close, and robbed me; then, as soon as their gaze turned away, they smiled and robbed me all over again.
This couplet captures the delightful helplessness of being completely captivated by someone's fleeting gestures. First, they step close and lock eyes, instantly stealing your heart away; just as you catch your breath when their gaze shifts, a lingering smile robs whatever composure you had left. It is a warm, playful depiction of love's sweet ambush, where being thoroughly 'robbed' feels like the happiest surrender.
