The Way You Speak To Me

 The Way You Speak To Me

i fell in love with your words

and the way you pronounce

your vowels

how your mouth gets smaller

when you're talking about something

that embarrasses you

how your eyes widen

when you get to the most exciting part

of your story

i fell in love

with your sentences

dragging on late into the night

never losing my attention

and never staying in a straight line

i fell in love with your paragraphs

how you’d add so much detail

but only in the places that need it

how you can transport me

to a new place

and keep me so utterly

captivated

i fell in love with our conversations

before i ever even noticed

the beauty of your face

because in even the fewest words

you could utter

you are everything good in this world

i would never want to erase.
