I look over at you
At your arms entertwined around mine
As you lay your weary head on my shoulder

I feel your proximity
And I revel in it
I crave the warmth
Of my palm in yours

It is now
While I am waiting
For you to mention something

It's obvious
There is a connection
And it thrives between us
Like an electric current,
Beautiful and deadly

It's when you place your hand
On the small of my back
And it comforts me

I know you're there for me
And I'm here for you
We'll stand together
And face the world

Your dark brown eyes
Are alight with humor
And I find the humor with you

You show me perspectives
I could never have considered
I can be myself around you
And you will accept me

I may not have mentioned
But I love your silly,
Cheesy nicknames for me

I love how you tell me I'm beautiful
Even when I won't believe it
You keep me happy
And teach me how to actually live

I love that you're taller than me,
That your hands engulf mine,
That when we talk,
Your eyes stay on me, fixed and focused

I want to reach out
And stroke your cheek
And push away the hair
That has fallen to your eyes

Others say to stay away
They say that you're no good
But I disagree
You're all that's good for me
