you look good in stripes

i'm sorry i've laughed at you so much lately
just do your best
to take it kindly

how am i supposed to react
when your sleepy self
is interrupted only
by the sounds of your own snores?

know that i enjoy you

that i love how you make that same face
each time you take a drink of a local beer
or eat really good homemade dessert
you usually say the same thing, too
(oh, that's good)

or how you love that shirt
so you bought another one
that i think looks just the same
i laugh, but
you look good in stripes

you delight me

especially when you have
a series of new puns
to make me giggle
even though i like to pretend i'm above that

you get flustered in the kitchen
and sometimes i think
i should just get out of your way
but it's so fun
to watch you accommodate
my own quirks

i smiled at you in the kitchen
just the other day
but you didn't notice

so just so you know
you look good in stripes
