Broken Senses in Head vs. Heart

What compels another to say,
I want to spend forever with you.
I want to give you the world.
I want to take care of you.
You are my everything.

What compels another to see
Lovely rather than loser
Sexy rather than sister
Adorable rather than annoying?

What compels another to listen contently
As you pour your heart out
Tell the stories of your dreams
Without judgement or misunderstanding?

What compels another to wipe away your tears?
Send chills down your spine
As their fingers dance across your skin
Or hit home and touch your soul?

Can they taste the victory
Of winning your heart?
The salty-sweet of your skin
As you kiss.
And savor the beginning of forever?
