I like the way your body tells me little secrets

Like the small moans you exhale when I touch your thighs
And the way you shiver when I kiss the corner where your jaw meets the soft of your neck

How it speaks of the long life you've experienced in your young age
Like the shiny slits scattered across your arms
Your calloused hands and feet
Like the dipped and knotted scar on your navel
And the nick of missing hair on the side of your head

I like how your body curls around mine when sleep won't come
I like how your head drops to my chest to listen when the sadness won't let you rest
How your shoulders slump when I hold you in my arms
And your eyes flutter when I wipe your tears away

I like the way your baggy eyes crinkle when you can't help but laugh
And the way your smile crooks when you make fun of me
I like your tender touch and the way you hold me like there is nothing more important

I like the way your body tells me all the things you don't know how to say
