It’s The Way (9/9/2008)

It’s the way that you smile when I kiss your hand
It’s the way that we talk and how you understand
It’s the person I am and the man you have made me
And maybe it’s the way that you can drive me crazy
With that smile and that laugh and the kisses you share
It makes me write in cliches when I picture you there
If I could sit with you, stare, and take in every breath
I’d thank you forever from the heart in my chest
And I’d give from my depths, I would give you my best
Just give me your time, put this poor soul to rest
I can feel so distressed when I can not hold you
But, regardless of distance, recall what I told you
That this is a promise to be there forever
We’ll fight and we’ll laugh and we’ll do it together
I cherish and love you and love when you kiss me
I love when you hold me and love when you miss me
I love when you hit me and tell me I’m crazy
And, god, do I love it when you call me your baby
When everything’s hazy and blurry and wordless
You tell me you love me ’til I know it for certain
Cause it’s the way that you say it and the way that I feel
It’s the way that I know that this whole thing is real
It’s the way that you shine when those clouds flood the sky
It’s the way that I love you: heart, soul, body, and mind
