People always compare eyes to stars

Starry-eyed

Stars in your eyes

But

Your eyes are so much more

They draw me in

And I swear

If I look for long enough

I'll be dissolved 

 

People always compare kisses to sugar

Sweet and

Addictive

But

Your kisses are different

Addictive, yes, but so much more

Like my favorite sweater

Or a cup of cocoa and a good book

Something I love coming home to

And hate to leave

 

People always compare voices to music

 Lilting 

Melodic

Yes

Your voice is like music

But so much more

Comforting as a lullaby

Energetic as a rock anthem

My phone is filled

With recordings and videos of you

That I play just like a song

 

People tell me that how I feel

Is just a fleeting fancy

Or momentary lust 

But believe me

And hold me tighter

Because I know

It is so much more.
