Lingo
We haven't known each other long
But we've been talking like best friends
Her mannerisms are becoming second nature
A second wind the way they nurture my nerves
She's got a smile that's like a breath of fresh air
She's got me laughing more than usual
And I can’t seem to catch the air
Unusual almost scary the way we peanut butter and jelly
Me + you is becoming our own lingo
A foreign language to others
Your pauses whisper to my ears
Drumming my heart into a baseline that will never flat line
Bottom line, you are precious to me
A darling so gorgeous to me
Your feelings hit me like the waves of your diction
Tell me what my laugh says to you
Tell me how my eyes enunciate your gaze
Tell me to read the braille of your goosebumps
And I'll tell you what your poems say to me
I'll tell you how my pen says to hold you gently
Let's hold this moment softly
Because to find someone who can sculpt time
Is rare,
You make the clock move at our pace
And I'm loving the two step of our cadence
I want to lean on you the way I'm relaxing in this conversation
Destination to no end
I feel like the richest man ever with her million dollar smile
Her smile steals from my heart and I don't mind one bit
Because that smile says everything I can't
Your eyes decipher my code
I’ve never felt this comfortable with vulnerability
I love looking out the window of our lingo
Opening the door to the depth of questions
Taking me closer to you
I just want to be closer to you
But right now I'm enjoying the heart to heart
p.s. you + me is becoming my favorite song…
