I Love The Way You Smile

I love the way you smile,
Without pretense, no mask, simply you.
Looking at your eyes, I see them as windows without curtains
Because they are open and clear
As if to say, “You may look at my soul for I have nothing to hide,”
And if your eyes are the windows to your soul,
Then your mouth is its doorway, Especially when we kiss,
And how I feel when I’m close to you,
Easy and natural, just plain me, the real me.
There’s no need for me to put on or try to be something I’m not,
For when I’m with you, I feel like a person, not a thing,
And I see you as a person, and a woman,
Comely, concerned, loving and so very much alive.
Sometimes, I see the “LITTLE GIRL” in you,
Especially when you cry or feel lonely or afraid.
When you are like this, I want to be by your side
And put my arms around you,
And say, “Honey, I don’t know why you are crying,
But, hold me and let me comfort you.”
As I brush a curl of hair from your face,
And softly kiss away your tears,
You put your arms around me and squeeze me tightly,
Without a word,
I know why I love you the way I do.
