You loved her eyes
But not just the gorgeous blend of colors that far too few people noticed
But what you saw when you looked into them
Yourself, your future, "our" future
You loved being close to her
And not just in the joking obnoxious sense where you think she's leaving forever when she gets up
But you thrived on the great sense of peace
That came from being near her
You loved coming home
And you looked forward to being able to do that every day for the rest of your life
You loved all her smiles
Like the half smile she would fight so hard not let through when she was pretending to give you the cold shoulder
Or the one she gave right before she kissed you
When you hadn't seen each other for a long time, or even just for the day
You loved her laugh
Because it was real; it was genuine
You loved being in her arms
Because you've never found a place where you've felt safer
You loved holding her hand
But it always seemed like you let go too soon
She let go too soon...
