Each time the sun shines over you 

Gold engulfs every feature of you 

Your freckles gleam, Eyes twinkle, and your Lips become perfectly outlined 

Each time you laugh 

Your eyes squint with mischief, your mouth opens wide, and you place a hand over your chest 

As if you can’t believe how funny you are 

Each time I look at you 

I take notice of certain things 

Like if you’re picking with your cheek or if your eyebrows are pulled together 

Or if the color your eyes have changed or if you’re holding back a smile 

Because you want me to believe whatever fake thing you’ve said 

And you’re trying not to give yourself away by laughing 

Every time I’m with you 

I feel safe 

I feel cared for 

And I feel loved 

I know you 

As you know me
