All it takes is one sweet smile,
an explosive laugh,
a nervous shove
of hands into denim pockets,
a pluck of a string,
a reach with the voice,
a bad joke,
a good choice in song,
and my stomach jumps
in feathering butterflies,
my heart leaps to my throat,
and my insides begin to warm.
I feel all of the good things
from within myself
rushing to conquer the bad,
and I allow it to happen,
simply because of him.
