Your Nuances and Quirks

Hello, I’m glad we know each other, 
Let me tell you what I think of you,
About those little things you say, 
About all those things you do.

I love your hidden smile when 
You see something others didn’t see,
To how you love to exaggerate and 
Use earth sized hyperbole.

And then you plan a trip overseas 
To hike to a mountain peak
But instead you book a scuba diving course,
All within a week.

I love your nuances, your traits, your quirks,
The things that are yours alone.
You’re the music playing inside my head, 
My beautiful, powerful megaphone.

Sweet tribute, Lewis! Japanese call it "wabi sabi"
