I haven’t smiled in a long time.
But you.
Oh, you.
“What?” you ask me, grinning with those damned eyes.
And as much as I fight it,
I can’t help but smile back.
“Nothing.” I whisper.
But it’s something.
It’s everything.
It’s the way you hold your pens, the way you sigh when you’re tired, the way you grab my hand when we cross the street. It’s the way you try to balance on the curb, the wa...
Beautiful.
She’s freaking beautiful.
She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met,
In any way you could measure it.
When she’s in the room -
I know.
I always know exactly where she is,
Am always somehow _aware_.
When she’s not around,
I’m stressed and anxious,
Itching to be near her.
Because when I’m near her…
There aren’t words.
It’s warm and cold
And safe and thrilling
And comfortable and unknown...
Sunlight is the beautiful language,
That I can no longer translate,
A golden canvas, forever unseen,
A whispered serenade.
But in your laughter's melody, a world unfurls,
Vibrant and unafraid.
Your touch, a poem for my fingertips,
Speaks of warmth, of kindness, a whispered rhyme.
The closest thing to sunshine I will ever need.
The curve of your cheek, a comforting cliff,
A haven I find i...
Chocolate eyes focused on the next adventure/
That next experience you know is fun with her/
With intelligence and an inquisitive shine/
A hunger to learn and grow without decline/
Equally and abundantly attentive and attractive/
Windows into a soul gentle, strong, and active/
Lips showing off a genuine smile and sharp wit/
A combination so cute, reality is easy to forget/
Asking questions that d...
The bump in your nose,
The lines of your smile,
The crinkle of your eyes,
The angles of your teeth.
You often complain to me
How these features ruin you,
But really you just can’t see
That vision of you isn’t true.
For your nose is those of Rome,
Statues built to honor beauty.
Your smile means i’m home,
Accepting me, even moody.
Your eyes radiate warmth
That comforts with a look.
Your teet...
My throat closes up
My eyes sting
My nose runs
My whole body trembles
Sheer joy
Hovering confusion
Overwhelming longing
Mounting sadness
Absolute devastation
Seeing you
Is the biggest gift
And the worst prank
Anyone could ever pull
It felt so nice to hug you
Hear your voice
Listen to your wisdom
It felt so real
And then I woke up...
You are so pretty
That when you look up,
The stars twinkle a little more
And the moon shines a little brighter
Just for you.
You are so pretty
That when it rains,
The clouds part in your wake.
And the sun’s rays flow onto you
Like a waterfall of light.
You are so pretty
But it doesn’t matter.
Because people are vain
And heartless.
People are envious
And angry.
So your beauty
Loses meaning,
...
Oh, seeing the face of someone you love, it's a feeling that's hard to describe,
A symphony of emotions, like a rollercoaster ride.
When your eyes meet, time seems to stand still,
And your heart skips a beat, a moment to thrill.
In his eyes, you find a world of warmth and care,
A gentle gaze that lets you know he'll always be there.
His smile, like sunshine breaking through the clouds,
Lights up ...
