I didn't know
You could be so
in love that every
single time you look at me
I fall for you all over again
All it takes
is one literal look from you
your smile
steals the light from
my eyes because
I have to look elsewhere
or I'd break out into tears
'cause that's
how happy you make me
the day that I realized
I fell for you
that I fell in love with you
I was up
the whole night
smiling
and I couldn't sleep
because of you
you made my heart
beat so fast that I
was awake the whole night
and still was not tired the next day
that's
how happy you make me
and I was just
realizing that I love you

¤

and when I was so nervous
after I told you I love you
by accident
I just couldn't contain that anymore
I felt like a child that had
gotten its favourite kind of candy you know
the happiness that people feel
when they get married
Or when they have their first child
There's this exhaustion within but
happiness is in every cell of my body
And it just takes over
I can't think straight anymore
it's the best feeling in the world

¤

so this valentine's day
all I want to say is
I'm grateful
for you
for your mere existence
for the fact that you love me
and the fact that I
can love you
