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.

but you once had a tarantula as a pet
and that you want another one.
