Understand

The reflection in your eyes of myself showed

I could not deny

I've never looked deeper than the surface but,

I just wanna know you better. I've never tried to know you better.

I like all the little things that make you up. The crinkles by your eyes, your laugh and your confused look. And I'm not sure what it is about me that makes you want to stick around but, I sure do enjoy the company.

And I'm not really one for thank you's, and I love you's or letters of gratitude, still you understand somehow.

I don't quite get everything you do. Like why your lungs are black like the soles of your shoes. But I guess the same can be said about me. Like a newspaper, you can't see more than the cover without paying a fee.

We've both got our share of mistakes and fights at the end of the night, over blankets and bedsides. Still, no one gets me like you do and I'm forever in awe of you.
