It’s scary to find someone that makes you happy. You start giving them all of your attention because they’re what makes you forget everything bad that’s going on in your life. They’re the first person you want to talk to in the morning and the last one before you sleep just so you can start and end your day with a smile. It all sounds great to have that someone, but it’s scary to think about how easily they could just leave and take that happiness away too when they go.
I didn’t know
it was possible to
fall madly in love with
the way a person sighs
when they are frustrated
and the way they sometimes
smirk when they say
something clever.
I never knew my infatuation
for your charming laugh and
your winsome smile would
turn my cold, dark, unlovable
heart
into a pumping organ,
because you loved me
and that made me
happier than you’ll ever
even know.
