    It’s something in the way
    That she rests her head upon my shoulder
    How it fits perfectly
    As the beautiful smell of her long brown hair
    Graces my nostrils

    It’s something in the way
    That her name brings a smile to my lips
    How it rolls off the tongue
    The best sound on earth

    It’s something in the way
    Those brown eyes warm my darkest days
    Soothing me
    In my time of need

    It’s something in the way
    That I replay our greatest moments spent together
    Over and over
    On a blissful loop in my head
    A night in spent watching movies
    A Sunday afternoon making love
    A road trip to nowhere in particular

    It’s something in the way
    That her lips tempt me so
    Begging me
    Screaming at me
    To kiss them

    It’s something in the way
    That she says
    I love you
    That makes me
    Say it back

    Very cliched, i know, but sometimes when you're in love, the tritest things ring so true.

    ... post a picture of you and your love with ci0616 written on your foreheads.

    If I was in love with you all these writings would surely make me fall out.

    I think it would work better with a different title.

    I don't like the flow at these parts; might work better if the lines were attached

    Like:
    Soothing me, in my time of need

    or even:
    Soothing me--
    in my time of need



    Overall; sure it's a little cliche, but it's effective. A heart warming poem that shows promise :)

    I'm sorry you feel that way, but could you please give me more insight as to why? Is there something wrong with the actual writing or do you just not care for mush? Because if that is the case, i can identify. I'm not in the habit of writing mushy love poems, but lately life has called for them. I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on all of it.

    Thanks! I admit that I have some playing around to do with this poem, and really, everything anyone writes is just a WIP, at least thats how I view it. But thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated as always.

    This poem is beautiful. With a little editing, it'll be perfect...for instance, "nostrils" isn't very poetic. "Graces my senses" would sound a little better or something of the like. Overall, I think it is a beautiful story, though. :)
