you are the ocean

It was not love at first sight,
When I first laid eyes on you,
There was no fireworks,
I took my time with you,
We became friends first,
I got to know your favorite color and all the small things about you,
Even though nothing about you is small,
I got to know your secrets only I knew,
I got to know the real you,
And the you I saw was like the ocean,
I was captivated,
I couldn't look away,
I was drawn to you,
I was in love with you,
At first I didn't what it was that made me fall in love with you,
And then it me,
I fell in love with your smile,
Your infectious laugh,
Your ability to bring me back to reality,
I was in love with you because I know your soul,
I know what makes you tick,
And what makes you happy,
You are the ocean,
You draw me in,
If loving you means losing my breath,
Then I guess I'll be breathless forever.
