Except the Money
He calls me grumpy pants because I wrinkle my nose
And yeah it's a pretty white thing to say
But the smile that seems to ascend into his face is worth it
He's a spender, maybe it's because he's never worried before
And I don't know how to be strict because he will
Spend 250 dollars on Magic cards and an entire paycheck
On something he already has but is supposedly 'better'
He always knows when I'm upset no matter how hard
I try to hide it
And it's a little annoying but the way he wrapped his arms
Like seatbelts waiting right before the crash
Makes all my problems seem a little smaller and more doable
When we wake up before his roommates he's never quiet
I continuously say 'shhh' and he says 'it's fine, honey'
I smile before he can see it so he might quit being loud
He's never afraid to tell me I'm wrong about anything
Even when I'm pretty sure I'm right but, he's stubborn
And is often right but in his own way--- of course
The other day as he slept he smiled in his sleep
He touched my hand and let the fingers close around my pulse
I felt the warmth of sweet love between us
Even with all the stupid things he does I love them too
Except maybe the money part.
