how do you not fall in love?

there was a quiet moment in time well not really quiet, quite noisy actually-- cars beeping sirens screaming traffic hustling pedestrians walking people talking timers ticking the world spinning-- where I knew. I could feel it inside every bone that formed the structure of my body in every muscle that held my body upright in every tendon. driving down the street rain splashing against the wind shield traffic lights like disco balls spreading rays of color across your face Cage the Elephants blaring on the radio you singing loudly the bustle of the city surrounding us but in that moment in the moment I looked over and saw you singing to me smiling all I could do was smile all I could do was feel the parade of butterflies rushing through my chest all I could do was soak in every ounce of that moment for that was a moment I never want to forget and as I lay in bed hundreds of miles away from you I wish for nothing but the chance to live that moment over and over and over again because how could you not fall in love while gripping the steering wheel with your best friend beside you singing his heart out. how can you not fall in love with the sound of his voice, or the way he can hit the high notes. how can you not fall in love with the way dimples appear when he is smiling at you. how can you not fall in love with a man who tells you 'you are beautiful' over and over and over again and not for the sake of having someone around but because you can feel it you can feel the love he emits for you even on the days that are really hard the days where you feel nothing at all you can still feel him shining on you warming your heart slowly kissing you from afar sweet words brushing past your ears how can you not fall in love with the man who changed every song you listen to every movie you watch every smell that passes through your nose every thing you touch every expression even thought every book you've ever read every love story you've ever heard every dream you've ever had every single thing about your world changed by one man for the better how can you not call him the love of your life
