All the reasons why
By Jezebel •
From the slope of your cheek
to the gentle curve of your throat.
From your upturned soft lips,
to your bright flashing eyes.
It is your crackling whisper
in the very early hours.
It is your dazzling laugh,
after I tell a joke.
From the angle of your shoulders
to the warmth of your hands.
From the steady thump in your chest,
to the thrum of life in your veins.
It is the way you smirk
when you've got me cornered.
It is the way you suffer,
when tears track down my face.
From the caution in your touch
to the strength in your desire.
From the lust in your gaze,
to the love in your heart.
It is when I open my mouth
and you pause to listen well.
It is when you joke around
until my torso aches with joy.
From all your silly accents,
to your real and wonderful voice.
From all your jokes and laughter
to your mournful salty tears.
It is the way you love me,
and all the reasons why.
It is the way you captivate me,
no matter what I'm doing.
It is the way you breathe
when you drift in forgotten dreams.
It is the feeling of being yours,
that catches at my breath.
It is the way I don't want to know
what life was like without you.
It's the way you're my everything
and I couldn't ask for more.
