your eyes

could sink the Titanic

if the Titanic were my heart

they could put every ocean to shame

your gaze is icy

but it melts me still

with the warmth that hides beneath

those miniature glaciers

when your fingers interlock with mine

I feel safe

when I am in your arms

I feel at home

and, God, that smile kills me

when your eyes scrunch up

and you throw your head back with laughter

I could watch that all day

and I love it

when your grab my face

and kiss me like I'm the miracle cure for Crohn's

and one of these days, I swear

you'll make my heart skip too many beats

but if I died in your arms

I would die happy
