looking at you from afar
I'm reminded of all the reasons
that I love you
the way that you stand,
one hand on your hip,
when you're not even aware
that you do it
the way that you tilt your head
to one side when I know
that you're listening intently
the way that your laugh
just floats above a room
like the softest of melodies

the way that your hand
brushes through your silky hair
when you're embarassed when I tell you
just how beautiful you really are
the way that your smile speaks volumes
and your eyes sparkle in their own
unique way, like the rarest of jewels
set in the softest alabaster of your skin
which is a smooth as the finest porcelain

the way that you look up into my own eyes
when I tlit your face to meet my own
and I can see myself in your eyes
like I belong there,
       like I've always belonged there

that's the way. . .
