I fell in love with you when you were horribly dancing in the kitchen,
while we were on vacation with your family down at your guys’ beach house in SC.
It brought such a smile to my face.
I fell in love with you when you were making me eggs in the same space
your little dance took place.
You cared for me by cooking.
I fell in love with you when I saw you in the car,
dropping your sister off at school, while I was over on the side street.
Just a glimpse of you made me fall so hard.
I fell in love with you when you held me after you noticed I was crying,
you wiped my tear away, and you told me it was okay.
You showed me hope.
I fell in love with you when I was watching you play video games with your brother
or just simply interacting with your family.
You have no idea how much harder I fell for you in that week.
Watching you laugh and smile
at your dad’s jokes,
at the fun you were having.
I was an observer from the outside, looking in.
I fall in love with you when you tell me your ridiculous puns,
but I can’t help myself from smiling,
because they make me happy, how they remind me of you.
I fall in love with you every time you help your mom out
because it shows me what a good man you are.
It shows me what a good man I have, how I should never let you go.
I fall in love with you every time I think back to a memory
from our 3.5 year collection that just keeps piling up with more.
It’s a collection I’ll never stop collecting, how I wish our memories won’t ever stop being made.
I fall in love with you every time I look at my domo
because it was the first gift you got me (3 years back),
during our awkward stages of dating, but my, was your awkwardness irresistible.
For I once read that a guy who acts all sly isn’t a guy who’s head over heels for you.
So is he really the guy who should hold your already broken heart?
No. A man like you should.
I fall in love with you over and over again,
and this poem would turn into a story
if I continued to list them all.
And I label myself as lucky,
to say I have a man like you to inspire that and
to have a man like you to catch me in your love.
