Like a foreign language, I've learnt to read your face,
the changing expressions, synced with conversation's pace.
I can tell when there's something else on your mind,
or when there's a right word you're trying to find.
The way you raise your eyebrows at an interesting story,
or burst into laughter - my heart beats away to glory.
The way your face lights up, when you're making a joke,
and that lingering smile, even after you spoke.
Your speech dynamic, I know the melody,
the rhythm, the places where pauses will be.
Like a living book, I study each phrase,
a fascinating read, to get lost in your gaze.
I can't find a flaw, not a single misspelling,
no irregular verbs, just a story for telling.
And what a plot, a writing style that captivates me so,
A page-turner, every paragraph and row.
I speak many languages - learning them is fun -
but the language of you is my my favourite one.
