Alexandra

It’s the softness in her eyes
They reflect all the pain
It’s the way her nose crinkles up when she laughs 
Her lips curl above her teeth
And her eyes, glimmer 
And she is radiant
And she is brilliant
And our love is forever

It’s the way my hands run through her hair
The way her words dance through my heart
The way she sets my world on fire
It burns hot, but with a lot of destruction 
My heart will never be the same

That’s what love can do to you
And to me that’s beautiful
