The Way

i love the way you laugh
when you think something is particularly funny
the way your breathy giggle
evolves into a deep chuckle
that you just can't seem to stop

i love the way you smile at me
when you just pull your lips back
to show me your teeth
because even if you aren't smiling
it'll make me smile

i love the way you feel things
somethings don't affect you
but there are times when i look over
and you're crying
and it's beautiful

i love the way you notice things
that i should watch out for
or may upset me
because you always check if i'm fine
and i know you care

i love the way you fight
through the things you feel
because it's not easy
but you're doing it
and i'm so damn proud

i love the way you are you
to your mismatched socks
and the way you play Adele when you're sad
and the meowing
and covering yourself in a blanket

i love the way you are with me
because being with you is all i want
and it makes me happy
and it makes you happy
and i'm ready for that

i love the way loving you feels
because i know i'm not alone
even when i feel like i am
because you're alone with me
and it's a beautiful silence we share
