My whole world stops in the best way possible
When I walk out of my room and he actually smiles at me
When it spreads from his mouth to his cheeks to his scrunched little eyes
When she hugs my legs as if she never wants me to leave
When she hangs on for dear life, physically begging me never to desert her
When the light shines through that windshield
When it makes life feel like a movie with nothing but happy endings
When my legs are about to collapse but I fall down in bed
When relief runs through my limbs and comfort arrives
When her face lights up as she makes a dumb joke
When she makes tears come to my eyes with no justification but joy
When the music blares over any background noise
When it drowns out my thoughts and leaves me with only notes
When he wraps his arm around my waist
&
When I feel as though the world would end if he were to let go
I need to remember that there are so many reasons
