It’s the way you laugh so easily
All the time
You bring out the best of me
Without even trying
Your long standing patience
And incredible insight
It’s the things you say quietly
Only with your back turned
And your skin on mine
The way you try so hard at everything
Especially when you genuinely love it
Even when it’s overwhelming
Or when you struggle
It’s how much stuff you juggle
And still shine
It’s the way you get bashful
When you give affection
But you keep trying cuz you know I love it
The way you don’t think you deserve to be spoiled
And get stuck on how to return it
Don’t you know you do every day
In little and big ways
It’s the way at night you always ask
where we wanna lay at
And it still gets me every time
It’s when we touch and I feel the goosebumps
And see the reaction in your body and in your eyes
It’s how you never stop growing
Through heartbreak and denial and not seeing how much you deserve to love
Yourself
You still give all your love so well
And stay learning and sharing
It’s the way I haven’t read a thing
Cuz every day whether up or down
Has been better than anything I’ve found
In imagination.
