i'm falling in love with you
with the way you brush your hair
and your love for the smell of old books
the way you sleep
and the fact that you actually like avocados
(they're still nasty to me)
it's the way you purse your lips
when you're thinking
and the dreamy look in your eyes
when you're far away from me
it's the way you always want to be close to me
pressed tight and warm
it's the way the straps of your dress falls off your shoulders
it's the way you always order vanilla ice cream
and i always order something new
it's the way you'll spend hours planning a future
that neither of us knows even exists
it's the way you desperately want my friends to like you
and the high pitch of your voice
it's the way you squeal when i tickle your feet
and how you're embarrassed about that mole on your back
but i like where it sits
it's the way you name random objects
and get attached to the plants that you always
forget to water
it's the way you love jazz
and the way you organize the pantry
it's the way you're always reminding me to take my medications
because you know i'll always forget
it's the way you smile even when you're sad
and how your whole body always hums
with excitement
and it's the way you love
me
