you're the best person I've ever known

and I want to tell you that so badly

because I don't think you know 

but I got lost in another hour of staring down your smile

and before that I drowned in a week's worth of your laugh

and before that I fell through a month of the glow behind your eyes

and before that?

seven years of falling in love with you, with everything you are

and everything, still, that you aren't.
