You

All of my wonder,
You are my answer,
Like a slowly blooming flower,
Your scattered light will guide the way, not like I'm blind I just want to hold you hooray,

Your eyes shine like a million suns,
Shining more brightly than anyone’s puns,
I can't do anything without thinking of you,
Can’t focus when our interactions kept replaying in my mind,

I will take you to all places,
Kiss you so hard, you can never go back there without remembering,
You captivating me is an understatement,
Me trying not to fall asleep in your embrace is a difficult assessment,

With your gentle touch and soothing voice,
You can't imagine how I keep myself sane,
Not like I get high off your scent, smiling when I’m thinking of “nothing”,
You're the happiness I never thought possible.
