someone who notices

i want someone who notices.
who notices worry in the curling of my lip
and the spirit in my voice when i'm happy.
who notices how i burrow my eyebrows when i'm frustrated
and my silence when i'm mad
who notices my unconscious comments i blurt when i think no one's listening.
who notices my love for bright orange sunsets and cotton candy lollipops.
who notices the way i look at him
and how tight i hold him.
who notices how i bite the ends of my straws
and how i get sad when it rains
and how i could stare at the stars forever.

i want someone who notices how much i love him
because i would notice how much he loves me.
