Wide awake and wondering;
what is it about him that I love?
It is too easy to answer “everything”,
and it is true,
but the question remains:
what is it?
It may be his eyes,
but words fail to describe,
soft yet possessing a heart-stopping intensity.
Or perhaps his smile,
enough to brighten my whole day,
to drag me from the depths of my darkest hour.
It could be the way he holds me like he never wants to let go,
his arms creating a sense of protection stronger than I’ve ever felt.
And then theres the way he makes me laugh,
when he didn’t even have to try.
Just the sound of his voice is enough to make me smile,
yet each time I hear it,
its better than my memory.
So what is it?
I could never single out one characteristic,
as I could never list all the reasons,
so everything has to be the answer.
