the way your laughter cuts through stagnant air

your eyes light up when you think of a dirty joke

the way your hand rests on my waist, my cheek

your voice, soft, when you say my name

when you call me

baby, darling, honey,

a hint of sarcasm in your voice,

because i never thought i’d crave such affection,

and yet

i can never get enough of you

how you whisper sweet nothings into the shell of my ear

how you hold me tight and make sure that i can feel your heart

beating in time with mine

how you’re always there, no matter what
