its not just the way you walk
on the ‘gentleman's' side of the street
and
its not just the way you snore 
and twitch while you sleep

its not just because 
of that fucking 
adorable walk
and
its not just because 
you say all the right words 
when you talk

its not just because 
id follow closely behind you for hours
just to stare at the back of your neck
and
its not just because with you around, 
everything feels better, 
even when its a wreck

its not just the way you melt me
with that shit eating grin
and
its not just the way i go weak in the knees
from the simple smell of your skin

its not just the commonalities, 
or sharing ‘likes’ 
of many similar kind
and
its not just the fact that the touch of your skin
creates a static 
that's impossible to define

its not just the way you demand to be looked at
with your 
unrelenting stare
and 
its not just the way you kiss me with intent
while grasping at the top of my head 
by my hair

its not just because 
there’s a whole 'nother ineffable world 
just inside your touch
and
its not just because 
i fear no one else 
will ever make me feel as such

no,
its 
so 
much 
more

its beyond the way you love
perfect amounts of passion, 
respect, and care
that make me completely want to open up
[and ill admit, this is rare]
its beyond words in my poems, 
or lyrics to any song
and
its something 
that may haunt me
my 
whole 
life
long
