1:05am

I like how surprised you get when you realize that I listen to you.

Why wouldn't I?

When you speak to me, your voice radiates throughout the room, and literally blocks out every other voice, noise, grunt, even my phone, and that's saying something because I'm addicted to my phone. When you speak to me, I'm mentally recording everything you say as if it was the law of life, as if a paralegal has moved in right in the limbic system of my brain.

I like how surprised you get when you realize that I remember what you say.

Why wouldn't I?

I remember everything you say even when we're both fully engaged in our video games online. I don't mean to sound corny but I know for a fact, I could be in a room full of people talking and just being a noise, and I could still only hear you. It's something about your voice, baby.

I like how surprised you get when you realize I see you.

I see past your makeup. I mean, of course, you look stunning with your concealer and foundation and mascara, but to be honest, you are the most beautiful when you first wake up with the crust in your eye. You seem so natural, raw, and authentic. I personally don't like morning breath, but I won't refuse your kisses that you love to place on my beauty mole that's right on the center of my left cheek.
