If you could look a little longer
You would notice how much of you I hunger
If my eyes were shot I’d still see you
The farther you go the more I still feel you
In my teeming options I’d still choose you
Not because you are better than the rest
Not because I met you first
Not because of the firmness of your breast
Not because you are cute and well dressed
But after you there will be non-next
I love the way you make me feel
The way you melt my heart and make me chill
How you swap my frowns with your smile
You fraught my belly with butterflies
I wish I knew how I make you feel
You make me laugh and giggle
You burst all my bubbles
You make my heart beat fast
All the pains I feel inside
You make me forget without even trying
You are the clue to all my puzzle
You always asked if I was angry
But I couldn’t be even if I tried
The explanation to these feelings of ecstasy
It’s a secrete I’ve only shared with my diary
Maybe love is a different kind of art
It feels like crystals in my heart
If life was a movie I’d be glad our
Paths crossed in this part
And if wishes come through
I’d really love to live this fantasy
If my life was a song you’d be the symphony
You didn’t tick all the boxes
You straightened the rough edges
You saw all the lapses
and took time to feel the up
I love how you laugh to my every joke
How you pay attention to every details
No judgment you pardon my little mistakes
You offer me a safe space
You help me find my peace
I met you and found my missing piece
My bad it took me until now to see
Your heart is safe, it’s where I’ve long to be
I know life is fraught with uncertainty
And nothing lasts forever
Not even love can be promised for eternity
Maybe one day time will stop
and this will be all over
So hold me now let the feeling
last till whenever
Time has been tick tock and
This feelings stood the test
I found me someone that knows I exist
Your energy is so warmth
Keeps drawing me to you
I can’t believe it took this long to see
How much my heart yearns for you
And it’s funny how time flies
How fast you’ve become my best friends
Love is the best kind of art
Its magical what it does to the heart
