Simple.
Plain.
Straightforward.
Exact.
Your curse words become a harmony of bliss once they enter my ears
Is it so wrong for a song to have a melody and nothing more?
For the melody to loop and loop over and over until you find yourself humming that melody?
When I find you in those hums, a smile displaces my cheeks
Simple.
Mundane.
Ordinary.
Regular.
These lines clearly display a cat, so why overcomplicate?
Does the cat need 18 whiskers and greenish yellow eyes?
Do those details do anything more to help you understand that it's a cat?
I love watching you drown out all that noise with your own
Simple.
Clean.
Uncomplicated.
Easy.
Your presence is all of these things, and yet you make me excited
Your plot curves and turns and twists into a ribbon of matted thread
It's beautiful to me, and so I wear it in my hair every day
I think it makes me prettier, what do you think, *******?
Simple.
Like the words I want to say to you one more time, so you know I really mean it.
Simple.
Like the action of a hug that draws on a little too long, but I still have a hard time letting go
Simple.
Like your smile when I speak my mind and tell the truth
Simple.
Because you don't need anything more from me, do you?
Yesterday I picked you up in my mind
You felt so light, so I spun you around and listened to your gleeful laugh
I held you tight and promised I'd never let you hit the ground again
And when I woke up I found myself ready to face today
You give me everything I don't find with the mundane, the plain, the ordinary, the simple.
And yet this feeling is all of those things.
For once in my life I understand. I get it.
Or I would, if the way your name lingers on my mind was a stronger echo and not a fleeting whisper that sounds a little similar to my voice.
Love catches me in every close relationship I have, it seems and you're no different
I don't want to overcomplicate us, love, I know you don't feel the same
I want to tell you and let your echo leave my ears,
But this lonesome melody is homey and warm and I've gotten quite used to it
It plays in my head whenever you're around, now, and I love the soundtrack of you
The cleanest notes, one after another, not a chord or a beat to be found
Just you, and me, forever in this moment, where everything happens.
Where we fall in love with each other, simply.
