I watch you

I watch you 

smile and laugh knowing you’re making me mad on purpose to see how angry I get

I watch as your eyebrows lift up as you laugh 

 your dimples sink deep into your cheeks like seed indentions in a apple

Dimples I hope that is passed down genetically to our imaginary future kids


I hear your laughter with small chuckles and it echos into my ears making the laugh contigous

A laugh I pray to hear in my future in a cozy house where the fireplace flames fills us with warmth


You slowly straighten your face making your eyebrows sit perfectly above your eyes 

as I'm laughing

You look into my eyes with nothing but deep affection as if I was a star in the dark sky 


Love

The love that I know is unconditional

the love I know that's intimate but yet built with friendship.


 I watch as you gracefully walk towards me and kiss my forehead where the indent of my temple lays 

You’re cologne fills in the air I breath 

You go back to working trying to bring your focus back to the work that needs to be done

 Scanning around the room for something that needs to be cleaned and removed 


I hear you whisper steps as you're trying to remember what to do 

looking around the room trying to recall your steps. 

Determined to get things done to spend time with me you’re absorbed with concentration
