for you (#3)

every moment with you is a guessing game.

what are you thinking, what are you feeling, what did you mean with that look;

every moment: unpredictable.

sometimes, bittersweetly indecipherable.

i love that.

& then there’s the way you look at people when you smile;

probably the most loving gaze they’ve ever received,

the most loving gaze i’ve ever received.

& i love how rare it is to catch you smiling.

makes it mean so much more, that lovely smile of yours.

the sky practically opens up & lets down a thousand doves when you smile.

but what i love most is that you’re all about subtleties.

about catching on to things that no one else bothers noticing,

can’t notice even if they tried.

you are: brilliant.

brilliant & beautiful & so beyond my ability to explain just how magnificently different you are from anyone i’ve ever met.

i hope everyone meets at least one person like you in their lifetime

because believe me, one person is enough to shatter your world in a way that lets the most gorgeous sorts of incandescent lights in.

& since you, my world’s been blinded by a million suns.
