You bring out this weird thing inside me
Something I haven't experienced before
It bubbles up like dish soap in a sink
& then it pours over the sides every time
I hear your laugh
When you tell me something nice,
you don't understand how little I get it
& it makes me smile for more than seconds,
but minutes, hours, days, every time
I hear your voice
You held my hand differently than others
Like you had something to say with your fingers,
maybe a story about how well they fit entangled
with one another's or a short love story every time
I feel your touch
"So will you go to prom with me," you asked me,
so casually, but I didn't need anything big or more
like I thought I wanted because that all changed
as soon as I met you & fell for your charm every time
I see you
