I Know You

I know that you watch action movies when you have company but you secretly love chick flicks

and that you always listen to rap music when you are angry.

You can solve a word search puzzle in approximately 3 ½  minutes

and you softly whisper the words when you are reading a book.

I know that you always take your rings off at meal times;

just in case you get food on them

and you only ever use a knife in restaurants.

You can fall asleep in 30 seconds

but it takes you 30 minutes to wake up in the morning

and even then, your eyes aren’t fully awake.

I know that you have a fear of spiders

but you once had a tarantula as a pet

and that you want another one.

I know what each expression you make means

and exactly how far I can push you before you explode

but that you will never lose your temper with me.

I can tell the difference between your good days and bad

and I know how to make you happy when it’s the latter.

I know you better than anybody else does;

which is how I can tell that you think you aren’t good enough for me.

Yet I have never met anyone quite as perfect as you

and you know that I never lie.

This is so cute. It's the little things we notice about someone else when we are with them that no one knows. Xo Winter

This is such a sweet poem c: Knowing someone that well, seeing all their quirks and cranny's, and still feeling such love and admiration for them is admirable ^^
This poem is beautiful Laura, a true tribute to the one you love

[ARuth]

It amazes me how people can notice such detailed things such as what you wrote in your poem, with the people they love. It's like the more you get to love each bit of him/her, the more you get to love him as a whole person. Keep it up! This is great :)

This expresses that curious feeling of being so close to someone that you know everything about them, and you realize just how much you love them. It expresses this in a way I never could. Amazing.

Someone should not think you are not good enough for them, as you see them so well. They should appreciate someone being able to pinpoint their soul

You're a really beautiful writer. I really like this poem, it shows how much attention we pay to the one we love. How all their little quirks, and habits are something we begin to notice, and are what makes us love them even more. :)
