you
your eyes are bluer than my brown
and I've lost myself drowning in yours
too many times to count
your hands are bigger than mine
harder, tougher, stronger
they have carried more
walked through more
seen more
but they still knew how to hold mine
your frame is larger than mine
stronger than mine
more fit than mine
fought through more
made it through more
but somehow still knew how to make me feel at home
your smile is brighter than mine
happier than mine
almost always in a grin
laughter flowing from those precious lips
maybe your smile is attached to mine
because mine can't help but turn up it's soft corners when yours is so wide
your hug was tighter than mine
longer than mine
always knew when I went to pull away, I probably needed you to stay
your arms still seem safe
you
you still seem safe
soft
gentle
even as the jagged edges of heartbreak are sticking into my chest
