How did you know that was a weakness
When you run fingers through my hair, brushing it off my shoulders
How did you know you would capture my attention
When you run your fingers down my arm and smile
How did you know that small private smile would captivate me
The one that lights up your eyes and weakens my resolve
How did you know when you watch me from across the room
My attention would be on you and suddenly I feet beautiful
How did you know I had been searching
For the strength and ferocious safety your arms offer
How did you know to step up without hesitation
Demand all of me without apology and train my heart to stay open
How did you know to tether me to you through talk
Asking questions, listening to me, hearing me without judgement
How did you know?
How could you know, I didn’t tell but, in my dreams
Yet here you are
Unrelenting, undaunted by my fears or insecurities
Every single day I am grateful and still I can’t help but ask myself;
How do you know?
