How Much Love

He’s grasping my hand with his warm palm 
Laying his head in my shoulder, his hair tickling my cheek
And I know
I am irrevocably in love
He’s laughing at himself, that wholesome laugh 
And looking at me with amusement 
And I am certain 
I am irreversibly in love 
He’s smiling at me with such fondness
It makes my heart throb, a steady desire 
And I know 
I am in love with him 

He has changed all of me for the better 
And sometimes it seems he’s too good to be true 
Too perfect to be mine 
So I enjoy every moment to its fullest 
Recapitulate every encounter 
And love him with all my heart 
Because I am irrevocably, irreversibly in love with him
