Joy

You make me laugh when I don't even want to smile,

You drop bombs on me that make me cry,

Not in a bad way, but with empathy,

Every time I see your face you take my breath away,

I love how you laugh so freely and with gusto,

And the gaps between joke and laughter,

As it seeps in and registers,

I love those little pauses,

I love how our conversations are disjointed

And just run with the butterflies in our heads

As they flit from thought to thought,

I hate how we don't stay on topic,

Especially when I want to say something,

But you are already off somewhere else,

I love how you stop and apologise

For going off elsewhere,

I love your Bluey Green eyes,

Even as they refuse to stay open

And you need to sleep,

I love your beautiful long hair,

In fact if there's something I don't love about you,

I have yet to find it !
