They say contagious like it's only meant for disease
I try to assure you that when people say parts of you are contagious,
They aren't talking about the broken pieces that you try so hard to bury beneath your skin
Yes, two thirds of the definitions in the dictionary have to do with sickness and tragedy
But two thirds isn't everything
The better third can over power the others,
Just as the sun burns away the rain clouds
And the only thing contagious about you, dear
Is the way you weave your words together in a pattern so elegant it makes my heart stir like never before
And that's what I love you for
