I Mean It

I love the sound of your voice when you're mad and irritated, it sounds like you're calling the ocean to swipe out the problem. 

I love the color of your skin even when you're having a bad day, your skin plays  mercifully to your body complimenting your mind.

I love your lazy eyes, especially when they are excited, they like cracking out fireworks as bright as they can, especially when you see me before you.

I love your forbidden lips and nose, they are the no go zone, but some day I hope to land in forcefully, just to wrap you in-between my heart.

It's clear I'm all in love with you, which is insane because it would mean the lightning thunder gets along with the rainbow and time doesn't exist.
