i think i could stare at you for hours.
watch you run your hand through your hair
gripping the steering wheel with the other
and pull up the hood of your sweatshirt
before you glance at me with that
stupidly breathtaking smile
that really does leave me breathless
and kiss me with this confidence
like you know you're going to kiss me again
like you're going to kiss me another thousand times
like you can't wait to kiss me another thousand times.
i think i could spend the rest of my life
staring at you for hours.
watch you smile when i say i love you
like you can believe it
like you love that i do
like you love me the more that i do
and that has my heart flipping upside down
beating right out of my chest
in an attempt to sit in yours.
because it feels like it's yours.
and i think now it is.
—falling in love again
