Infatuation

Heart skips, knees weak
Every time I hear you speak
Blushing cheeks, hectic nerves
When you say sweet things I don’t deserve

Out of nowhere, you appeared
And conjured feelings I’ve grown to fear
The sound of your laugh, the way that you smile
Everything about you was made to beguile

I’d love to spend the days just listening to you sing
Or talk about your dreams or what the future might bring
Because the sound of your voice sends shivers down my spine
I’d do most anything to call you mine

We often talk of togetherness and travels
And how it’s strange how some things unravel
We talk of the past, but mostly the present
And occasionally of things we have come to resent

And I want you to know that your flaws do not define you
You will find someone who loves them as much as I do
There will never be a crack that can dull your shine
To you, these words, I do consign

But darling, you must remember this
On any day that you may feel amiss
You are perfect because you are not flawless
There is nothing about you that is aweless
