hopelessly in love
and so I fell in love with the way he fell asleep at night
the way he breathed unevenly
the annoying way he held me captive -
during every phone call
the way he made me late to meetings
the way he laughed
smiled
cried
the way his eyes lit up when he saw me
the way his chest felt beneath my head
the way he hugged me
the way he spoke about his dreams
and mine
and ours
the way he kissed me
the way he loved children
the way he loved me.
