you make me feel like i’ve never felt before
i feel special
i feel invincible
i feel strong
but most of all i feel loved
you run your fingers through my hair
and whisper sweet nothings in my ear
you kiss me before you leave and hug me when you come back
with a promise that you’ll always be there

people talk
and they might be right
maybe we’re cliche
maybe we won’t last
maybe we’re going into this way too fast
but maybe
just maybe
they’re wrong

i’ve fallen in love with you
and you’ve fallen in love with me
i don’t know exactly when it happened
or how
but i suppose it was like the coming of dawn
there was darkness
and slowly
ever so slowly
you started to come into my life
you brought colors and light and beauty
you brought me the hope that a new day always seems to bring
with your comforting touches and meaningful gaze
i feel at home

and no, we’re not perfect
far from it actually
but i think that you’re perfect for me
and i for you
you don’t ask me to change
but if i do, i know you’ll love me still

you challenge my mind, make me think in new ways
you don’t do it on purpose
maybe you don’t even realize it
but when i’m with you my eyes are suddenly wide open after a lifetime of being shut

sappy texts in the middle of the night
songs that make us think of each other
secrets that are just between us
sometimes i think maybe i’m crazy for thinking this will last
yet at the same time praying to a god i don’t believe in that it will

these feelings you cause are uncomfortable and new and scary
but at the same time they’re not at all unwelcome
when i’m with you it feels like i’ve just drunk a mug of hot tea on a cold winter day
i can feel it traveling through my body and warming me from the inside out
you make me feel like i don’t need a jacket
(i know you’ll give me yours anyway)

i don’t know a lot of things
but the one thing i know to be my absolute truth
is that i love you
