maybe i should have known by the way you looked at me

or the way you laughed at my bad jokes

or the way you always seemed interested in what i had to say

though it had only crossed my mind every few months

i never let them stay long

to me they were just too scary

but we took all the time that we needed

the perfect amount for us

now when i think of you i smile

a smile as large as the eyes can see

i catch myself staring at you

it’s become a bad habit that i can’t fix

that’s only because you make me the happiest

the happiest i’ve been in a long time

all i want to do is thank you but i’m not sure it would add up

from now on we will only grow

i hope our “something new-ish” is something special
