The Beauty in Rawness
I feel the flush of your face on my fingertips
I indulge in the softness of your brown curls
I treat myself to looking in your big, dancing eyes, full of life and seemingly endless ideas about the world
Beaming with the uncontainable eagerness to share the awe-inspiring wonderland of your mind
Your brain is exceedingly rapid, running on the adrenaline of all the things you find
The simplicity of the little things life has to offer never seizes to amaze you
The excitement and curiosity always seem to sway you
“Also” you add, rushing to continue the momentous chain that formulates your thoughts
And I love the way your eyes crinkle like rose petals, sending my stomach in knots
Every fixation that gnaws at you, every concept that you want nothing more than to grasp, every hypothetical inquiry you brain decides to engage in
I admire them and I admire you, whatever craze you happen to be immersed in
Every time words fumble out and get lost in the midst of the loudness
It’s like a loudness, isn’t it?
Never a quiet moment where your soul isn’t utterly captivated and entertained by the spontaneous pattern of your thinking
You’re easily stimulated, whether it’s the blurred neon lights that dawn in the background, careful colors sinking
Or the feeling of a material beneath your skin
I love the giddiness that consumes you when you find something new and shiny to play with
I love the way your whole face glows with a light crafted from pure bliss
I love the way your arms wrap around me, holding me so tight
I love your beautiful mind, it keeps me up at night
The creativity that seeps from you, effortlessly
The beauty that you never seize to display, constantly
The kindness and gentility of your ways
The positivity that emanates,
drifting in infectious spirals surrounding your essence
The way your colors never fail to make a presence
I love the way you always have something to say,
words being your tool to convey
the inner depths of your mind
And for you I hope to always remind you of the incomprehensible divinity
That accompanies your entire vicinity
You’re as gentle as a soft dove
Yet as passionate as a romantic jazz melody, singing about what it means to be in love
You are mine
Every quirk, every smirk, every interruption and even every sudden disruption
Never will I cease to love them
