it's when you smile when you're sad
and when you laugh when you're mad
it's when you throw your head back
and when you flip your hair, being cute
it's when you bite your lip
and when you look down without looking me in the eyes
it's when you lie to protect me
and when you know I can see it's not the truth
it's when you kiss me tenderly
and when you send me flowers and then deny it
it's when you hug me from behind
and when I get gifts for no reason
it's when you finally told your secret
and when you cried in front of me
it's when I hold you tight
and when I say it's all right
it's when we sit in silence
and when we just want to touch
it's when you look up shyly
and when you said "I love you" for the first time
it's when I answer "yes"
and when you waited at the end of the aisle
it's when we said "I do"
and when we kissed for the first time again
and those are the memories
I miss not having in print
