Does He Even Know What He Does To Me

How seeing the smile on his face How it exposes the dimples he tries to hide And it goes up to his eyes To catch a glimpse of it Makes my heart smile That all it takes is a few words To turn my day around A few words to bring a smile A few words to make me laugh He does that to me Does he even know what he does to me? How when I am wrapped in his arms The world fades away It’s just us there existing The safety and security I feel The warmth of him So comforting In his arms I feel at home And for that moment in time Nothing seems to be missing And life feels complete Does he even know what he does to me? When I look into his eyes And he doesn’t look away And stares right back into mine How my breath catches in my throat He doesn’t really know Just how beautiful his eyes really are How they see deep into my soul How there’s a puddle at my feet From the thawing of the ice around my heart Does he even know what he does to me? Even when I can’t think my day can worsen All it takes is just the right words From him to change my entire attitude For him to bring a smile to my face For him to bring a laugh in my throat And that he wants nothing more Than to be here to wipe away my tears Does he even know what he does to me? That I still get butterflies when I am waiting Waiting to see him again That my heart races and my palms sweat It’s like sweet chaos inside of me Then there he is and we embrace And my hands tremble from it all My voice quivers as much as I fight it Because it’s so hard to contain my excitement Does he even know what he does to me? That he makes me feel free to let go To show him the things I’ve hidden away To want to take off the masks I’ve worn To feel like I can let it all out and cry That he brings out the best in me How he is breaking these chains that bind How he’s helping to heal these wounds of mine If he only knew the comfort I felt If he only knew how fast my heart races If he only knew how much I want him here If he only knew he’s the first person I think of when I wake If he only knew he’s the last person I think of when I sleep If he only knew this yearning inside If he only knew how this wall is crumbling If he only knew how my life is so much better If he only knew of the happiness he gives me Then he would know just what he does to me....
