I love it when you say: "YES". Not just for the meaning of it, but for the love of the lyrical way it leaves your lips. For your smile that carries the lilting sounds on magical notes and chords in play
I love it when you say: "YES". It gives me freedom to express and DO and permission to share my feelings for you.
I love it when you say: "YES" to the little things shooting stars, not diamond rings not majestic seas, but little springs that refresh our lust for life
And sometimes, when you say: "NO" I love it too I look into your sapphire eyes (I feel you warm to my fingertips I feel you through your wanting lips) and then I know Your "NO" is often just a 'YES" you're trying to disguise....
