Something so ordinary...


Something so ordinary as the way you smiled at me
And made my day.
Something so ordinary as you moved the hair off my forehead
And said all those things I wish you would say.
Something so ordinary as your tucking the covers around me
Or just standing by the door and watch me sleep.

Such an ordinary look, and yet you looked deep inside of me.
Unknowingly you stilled something so restless inside of me.
Catching a little lie, so ordinary
Playing along, even more ordinary.

Something so ordinary your head in my lap
And my fingers in your hair.
Something so ordinary the sound of your breathing
My sense of comfort that you are still there.

Laughing at all my tantrums, something so ordinary
Missing them when I don’t throw them, even more ordinary.
Being yourself, something so ordinary
Being my whole world, not all that ordinary.

Such an ordinary life
Such an ordinary lack of momentum
Like we are caught up unawares in a loss of time

And then you unknowingly cover my hand
And tell me all over that you won’t leave.

Love will stay…
…In all your ordinary ways
