Been thinking ‘bout you a lot lately.
It’s easy on the mind to let it go that way,
Just like you’re easy on the eyes.
Hey, baby, can we just hang together today?
I think about the way you walk,
Intent on getting somewhere, anywhere,
And you don’t slow down because
Strolling along hurts your back.
I think about the way you focus
So intent on figuring out a solution
To a programming issue or whatever
That you forget to stop and eat sometimes.
I think about the way you shyly reach for my hand
Like we just met yesterday or something.
Then you wriggle like a big furry dog
Excited just to be close to me… and grin.
I think about the way you kiss me
Softly, slowly, waiting for my response, and
Never intruding too far when time goes
Flying away from us and I have to rush off.
I think about the way you let me give you
Little kisses on the side of your face gently
Till you can’t stand it anymore and
You hug me to make me quit torturing you.
I think about the way you REALLY think
All about the way things are,
The way they ought to be, and
How in the world we could possibly get there.
I think about the way you care so deeply
For the things that matter to you—
Preaching the gospel, worship, prayer,
And obeying the scriptures because you love God.
I think about the way you look at me
With those serious eyes,
Till a glimmer bursts out and
You are laughing again at some inanity.
I think about the way you laugh…
Shrugging away my “too serious-ness�
And enjoying all the little things
That can be appreciated with humor.
I think about the way you make me smile
By just standing there grinning
Or saying something stupid on purpose
So that I have to chuckle all the way in to work.
I think about the way you love me
With gentleness, kindness,
And deep passion that hides inside
Careful not to let others see too much.
I think about all the ways that you are
Uniquely you around me and others,
And I come to the same conclusion
Every single time… I love you!!
