You don’t judge me for my morning breath
You kiss me and tell me I’m beautiful regardless
Our bodies laying side-by-side
Your hands, holding mine
And all at once I promise you
This is more than enough
People assume the worst
But you and I both know all of my favorite parts are innocent
I sit and listen to you talk and ramble
And sometimes you look over at me
And there is this look in your eyes
It’s my favorite look
I look up at you, wide-eyed and dreamy
I hope that you know all the words that I leave unsaid
I love feeling like I’m on top of the world but
I love that you make me feel safe and grounded
I love that you don’t stop me from going on adventures
Instead, you follow me into the woods
Ready to catch me at any moment
I tell you that I’m far from perfect and you tell me that art is subjective
I’m a sappy, romantic, goofball
But you love me anyway
And I love you, all the same
