Sunshine and gunpowder
"You smell like sunshine and gunpowder." ~ Deeks says to himself after his partner (and future wife) walks out the room. From the TV show NCIS: Los Angeles.
Sunshine and gunpowder

You smell like sunshine and gunpowder
Two of my favourite things
You shine and you burn
You make my heart sing
Never before you
Did anyone reach my heart
Somehow you overran it
With sunshine and gunpowder art
You filled it to overflowing
You completely blew my mind
Every day is an adventure
A meeting of fate and time
How did I get so lucky
How our opposites attract
We're blessed to overflowing
We're blessed to have each other's backs
So much in this world is uncertain
But with you it never wavers
It's a constant in constant change
It's everything I ever prayed for
You smell like sunshine and gunpowder
Two of my favourite things
You shine and you burn
You make my heart sing
I love everything about you
And I thank you being you
Our hearts are free and forever taken
By sunshine and gunpowder true
