The way you smiled
Made me red
From my nose to my ears
Took away my breath
So I couldn't speak

The way you laughed
As a chuckle escaped
I knew I was doomed
Doomed to think about it for eternity
I knew I was to think about you
Think about your laugh

The way you wrote,
Said I was better at it
Tried to prove it
And even wrote in a fancy way
After I had told you
That I liked your handwriting

The way you talked
A voice so soothing
And so inviting
That I wanted to confess everything
Tell you my whole life story
And not regret it

The way you made fun
When I mispronounced things
Repeated the way I said it
Or when I came off as one way
You made a snarky comment

The way you believed in me
Told me to be more confident
When I told you I wasn't
Believed in your answers
And believed in mine

Now it's time
To throw away
The ways of your enchantment
Release me from this spell
And finally set me free
