I see the way you look at me…
It fills me with hope and heartbreak
at the same time.
Hope that someday you'll let me know
if you feel the same,
and heartbreak that you might not.
I see the way you walk,
the way you talk,
the way you sing like no one's watching.
I see the way you smile,
the way your eyes crinkle up at the corners.
But most of all, I see the way you care.
When I'm sad, or worried, or stressed,
you care.
When I think no one else does,
you care.
I see all your little quirks,
and when you make a not-so-funny joke,
I laugh anyway,
because I feel so lucky
just to see you smile when I do.
Everything about you makes me love you more,
especially the fact that I learn
something new about you every day.
You make me feel joy and dread all at once.
I didn't know it was possible
to have so many emotions welling up inside me.
There's a million things I want to say to you,
but I’ll just say the most important one.
I love you.
