You make me smile!

Don't know how you do it

But you make me smile.

That childlike smile.

I love it when you try so hard

To impress me. 

Or how you try to get my attention!

Every minute I spend with you

I breathe deeper.

Knowing that you are in my life

I sleep sounder.

Your undivided attention for me

Makes my heart beat softer.

With you next to me

I walk slower.

Dancing with you

My footstep's gotten lighter.

I savor life

Like I've never allowed myself to before.

My mind feels at rest

Like it's in a safe place.

When anything happens

You're the first person I want to tell!

Before I call, you do

Before I text, you do.

I've always fared better solo

I value my freedom above all else. 

But with you, it's different.

With you, I feel freer.

Like you'll always have my back

Like I have yours.

I've often thought that 

I'd choose to die a spinster

Loyal to the end 

To the man of my dreams

I'd never meet.

I didn't think 

Someone like you existed

But now that I know you do

I don't know what to do!

Don't know how you do it

But you make me smile.

That childlike smile.
