The Simple Things I Like About You

Your heartbeat 
Your breath on my skin 
Your presence around me
My emotions, feeling it within.

It’s not in your conversation
It’s not in your voice
It’s in the way you embrace me  
That makes me feel strong

It’s in your sense of humor
The way you make me laugh
And the way you make me smile
When you say nothing at all

It’s in all the little things you do
Making me want you.
Your soft touch
It’s never too much

You show you true commitment 
Not only in you job but in me
You give me great fulfillment 
In your love you express to me daily

When we first kissed 
I felt my stomach turn
It was love at first sight
Now I’m a bit corny here because of you
