the magical things in a mundane life

When you look up and our eyes meet

I swear time stops for a moment

When you smile at me and your face lights up like a Christmas tree

I hope you never stop smiling

When you press close to me as we draw stick figures on the foggy window

I miss your presence the moment you move away

When you say my name

I could listen to that sound a thousand times over

When you lean against the doorway and bid me farewell

I wish I never had to leave

When you lay your head on my shoulder

I want you to stay there forever

When you run a hand through your curls

I swear I’ve never fallen for you harder

When you give a whisper of a kiss and the softest of exhales on my cheek

I feel my heart skip a beat

When you hold my gaze for a second longer than you normally do

I find myself getting lost in the storms in your eyes

When you wrap your arms around me

I want you to never let go

When you intertwine your fingers through mine

I swear I can feel your heartbeat in my hands

When you fall asleep beside me, your arms around my waist

I know this is where I belong

When you go dancing in the moonlight

I want to capture you like this forever

And when we swear our love for each other

I see a map of our life together

And it’s perfect
