i smelt the perfume on your skin
i smelt the scent that calms me within
i leaned in to your shoulder
to where you started wearing thin

i felt the softness of your hair
i felt the pain of separation in the air
i laid with you and talked to you
whispered a small prayer

i waited for your chest to rise
i waited for the twinkle in your eyes
i held your hand and waited
for the warmth to wrong my last goodbyes

i catch your eye and i smile, we laugh and i talk alot of rubbish... we stay in bed and make love, you drink coffee, and you refuse to make me tea...but you do boil the water... standing in the kitchen, you sneak up behind me and kiss me, and my body trembles, i turn to kiss you back and try to let you know how it feels for me... but i never know if i succeed.

everytime you look at me in that way, just for a second, i think, is this it?... and everytime, my heart misses a whole beat, for that one second, i cant remember how to talk, how to breathe, how to be... the carefully contained ball of butterflies in my stomach explodes into a fit of excitement, sending waves of nervous tingling throughout my body

but then the second passes. the butteflies retreat, i feel a slight ache within my body where the tingling was only moments ago... i catch my breath and mumble under it...

everytime, i remember to be patient, but my heart is a little weaker...

1. not only do i dream about you, i talk about you in my sleep
2. im not fed up with you. yet ;)
3. you tell me when im rambling or being annoying. and even though its really hard for me to get annoyed at you in the first place, when i am annoyed at/fed up with you, ill tell you.
4. you know how i like my tea. only two other people know that. feel special.
5. every now and then, you STILL give me butterflies.
6. you admitted to me that you're a jealous person.big step. i told you i was too. we're even.
7. you like alot of things that i like. football, food lovers guide, pasta, that 'new' smell[to name a few].
8. you do little things that have a big impact[in a good way], even if you don't realise at the time.
9. you're comfortable enough to burp around me
10.i cant promise you this will be perfect, or that it will be without difficulties, but i can promise you it will be worth it
