You know, I'm pretty sure
I could watch you for just a minute,
the most fleeting of moments,
and find a hundred reasons more
to fall in love with you.
I catch myself staring all too often,
eyes tracing over your features
as I try to understand,
even just a little bit,
this spell you have over me.
I'm not speaking of swooning
over the curvature of your clavicles
or tumbling down into the depths
of your green eyes.
Though if I'm honest,
I love all those cliché things too.
No, baby, you see,
I've fallen quite madly,
for you, wholly,
mind,
heart,
and spirit.
It is the very essence of you
that causes my ardent adoration.
