You're the Reason

You're the reason

Why I get butterflies in my stomach

and brain

and heart

and basically everywhere

just by being near you.

You're the reason

Why I start smiling and giggling for no reason

and sometimes it's really embarrassing

because I'm walking down a hallway alone

or taking a test

or driving

and people don't normally smile when they do that

You're the reason

Why I start blushing against my will

by you just saying small, insignificant things

that remind me that you care

you just can't care too much, yet.

You're the reason

Why I'm trying to write this poem

this scatter-brained mess of a poem

that tries to explain how you make me feel

but I can't quite put sunshine into words.

You're the reason

Why I sing along to sappy love songs at the top of my lungs

dance like an idiot in my room

and try to play the piano like I know what I'm doing

Cause words alone aren't enough

You're the reason

Why skies don't seem quite as grey

flowers seem twice as beautiful

and eyes seem much more trustworthy then ever before

I just wanted you to know, you're the reason

and you're the best reason I could hope for.
