i love her
in the most basic way
and i have tried
to tell her
in the plainest way possible
how her eyes
pierce me, calls to me
how her smile
radiates, warms me
to my very soul
how her lips
soft and pliant
lures me
how she wraps me
'round her delicate fingers
how her every word
however cutting
clings to me
how the sound
of her voice
however faint
completes my day
her every movement
has me entranced
i could never take
my eyes off of her
i'm afraid to even blink
'cause i might miss
a moment i could
never get back
her laughter
like fine whiskey poured
in a snifter
it hugs me
comforts me

yes i love her
and sometimes. . .
she loves me too
