IT'S IN THE WAY YOU MAKE ME LAUGH

 

It’s In The Way You Make Me Laugh

I love the way you love me,

And how you always make me laugh.

Laughter’s a strong emotion,

One I crave as an empath.

You read me without asking,

Sense the shifts I never say.

You know when I am fading,

And you push my gloom away.

When the world feels far too heavy,

And my heart feels paper-thin.

You don’t try to fix the chaos,

You just pull me safely in.

Your humor breaks the tension,

Like sunlight through a crack.

You remind me who I am,

When I start to get off track.

You make space for all my feelings,

Never asking me to shrink.

You let me feel things deeply,

Without pushing me to think.

And in that shared laughter,

In the joy you help me find.

I feel seen, I feel protected,

I feel loved, and not confined.

Because loving me means patience,

And you wear it like a gift.

You don’t dull my sensitivity,

You help it to uplift.

So if you ever wonder why,

Your laughter means so much to me.

It’s because you love me gently…

And that’s where I am most free.
