I Love...

I Love...
The way you seem to glow with strength
The way your presence fills the room
The way it brightens every single day
Scattering the sadness and the gloom

I Love...
The way your fingertips trace patterns
Above my brow, making my heart leap
The way they tremble just a little
As they move down and across my lips

I Love...
The way the shadows mix with lightning
Inside the sparkling pools of guarded eyes
The way they soften just a shade
The moment they upon me lie

I Love...
The way that twinkle dances in your eyes
When you know something that I don't
The way I'd nag you just to tell me
And you'd say smirking "No, I won't"

I Love...
The way you call me Cricket
And tell me that I bring you luck
The way you chuckle low and husky
And tell me that with you I'm stuck

I Love...
The way you hold me tight but tender
And make a fortress of your arms
The way it makes me feel protected
And loved, and cherished, and so calm.
