You in Love caught me off guard

You.
When I’m with you
Not only do I see the world differently,
I see it through a child’s eyes
There is no hate
There is no negative
It is laughter
It is fearless
It is the cold wind breaking through
the sunset on a warm summer night
after you’ve been playing all day
It is the 5 am laughter of running downstairs and seeing all the presents under the tree
It is the 6th birthday party where you invite all your friends from school
When I’m with you
I see things differently
The moon and the stars shine brighter
The color of the sky is as blue as your eyes
Your cheeks turn the beautiful pink color of my favorite rose when I touch you
Your fingers tremble like you’re breaking into a safe when you touch me
My lips tangle in yours with every kiss
The deep breath before and after every kiss that reassures me that you’d rather be here than anywhere else
I’d rather say I love you by staring into your eyes than actually saying it out loud
Because let’s face it
We have both been a victim of fake love
Love that we searched for but never achieved
We both have been close
We both looked for each other in other people
But never satisfied with the outcome
We both searched for love that is pure
That is exciting
That is giggling in the dark at 3 am
Or the heavy breathing at 2 am
Both longing for that one kiss that sends chills down our spine
We both longed for each other
Without actually realizing we were
When I’m with you
Not only do I see the world differently
But
There is no hate
There is no negative
There is laughter
There is fearlessness
There is
You.
