Radiant— describes your glow, affecting everything in sight

Your smile— infectious, lifting moods to new heights

Your attention— A goldmine for this grateful soul

But it's in those brown eyes where I lose control...

Can't wait any longer, I've something to say

Will you marry me on this Valentine's Day?

    "it's in those brown eyes where I lose control" I know the feeling and, thankfully she said yes. I wish you, and/or the narrator, such good fortune. So beautifully put and in keeping with the day, Lamar. Well done.
