The way that one Piece of hair Falls on your forehead When you don't have enough wax In your hair The way you straighten it Everyday Because you hate the curls That I like The way you get cold so easy So you sit a little closer to me Feel my warmth Put your hand on my knee Or on my arm Your icy fingertips Burning my skin How you always hold Onto my hand Longer than you should When you shake my hand Or hi five me And bend your fingers over To hold my hand in yours The way your eyes light up When you laugh Or smile at me As I wake up From sleeping in class The way we both are drawn To a stray cat Walking down the pathway home The way you grab my arm Or put your hand on my knee And ask if I'm okay When I'm on the verge of tears And tell me it's all going to be fine When I get scared And you put your arm around me And run with me in your arms Away from what we fear The way you pull me off the road So I don't get hit The way your hand is pressed Firmly on my back Getting me away From any bad situation The way you care for me My safety My health My feelings Way more than I do myself I don't really understand why But oh how I'm grateful You were that person I always prayed for That God would send me Someone I could count on Someone to protect me Care for me Understand me and my ways And make me happy again
