Page 1, Reasons for feelings.

I like the way you talk.

I like the way you watch me from the corner of your eye, acting as if you don’t.

Or when you look at me dead on, challenging, but softly.

I like how you tug at my heart in the late hours of the night.

I like the feel of your arms completely enveloping me and allowing you to swallow me whole in your sea of emotions.

I like the way you linger around me at the end of conversations, leaving room for possibilities.

Leaving room for things to think about later.

Leaving room for wishful thinking.
