When I talk of you. ..

I tell them about your

Smile.

How it both

Calms my soul,

And sets my heart

Ablaze.


I tell them about your

Voice.

How I'd ask just about

Anything

In hopes that you'd reward me with

That sweet golden honey,

Thick

Warm

Or your laugh

How it 

Comforts me

Like a nap during a thunderstorm. 


I tell them about your hair

How it reminds me

Clouds

Yet when I close my eyes,

I imagine sunkissed sand,

Slipping slowly through my fingers. 


I tell them about your

Smell.

Like Thanksgiving day

Food,

Family,

Happiness,

Love,

And all of the things

That I am thankful for.


I tell them about your

Mind.

How with every thought you share

I am constantly learning.

How you've helped me

Rediscover

The stars in my eyes and

The world at my feet

And because of this

I fear I have nothing

To teach you in return.


So when they ask

Because I know they will


I tell them about how

I fell in love

With a dream

(That may never come true...)
