27 Dresses

The first time I saw you look at me that way
was the last day we became strangers.
I didn't know what it meant back then,
but now that I knew, 
it never fails to make my heart skip a beat 
no matter how many times I've seen it. 
That crinkle in your eye that appears 
whenever your wide smile reaches them 
makes me want to reach out too 
just to feel them under my fingertips and my lips, 
because seeing them with my own eyes 
felt like never enough. 
I know that with all the places you've been to,
your eyes have already seen way too much beauty and wonder, 
but when I see you staring back at me with that look, 
you always make me feel like 
you've seen it with me for the first time. 
I know, because that is how
I always feel everytime I look at you.

*** Pardon me for this bit if mushiness. It's just that as I'm writing this, it's 1:24 on a Monday morning and I just finished watching "27 Dresses" so basically I'm still feeling a bit moony and hopeless (add to that the lack of sleep). The funny thing is lately I've been buggered alot by weddings and stuff and I'm not even sure why. So when I watched this, let's just say I just voluntarily rubbed sea salt and vinegar over an open wound. Here's a fun fact though, there's a part in the movie wherein I felt like screaming out loud "Me too! Me too!". It's that scene where they were talking about what was their favorite part of weddings and both of them referred to that moment where the bride walks in and instead of watching the bride, they'll look at the groom instead and see how his eyes fill with happiness and emotion as she makes her way towards him. Seeing the look on the groom's eyes usually makes me want to swoon in delight (and hence the inspiration for the post :P). I know I'm blabbering like a lovestruck idiot, but what can I say? Girls will be girls. Don't worry though, all I need is a bit of sleep and probably I'd be back to the old cynical me in no time. Or not. ;)
