Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
A smile crept to my face, not helping myself from doing it. She was simply beautiful. The moon light shines directly on her as she sat on the rocking chair, holding the beautiful bundle in her arms. She was oblivious to my presence, instead, focusing all her attention to the baby that was slowly yet hungrily sucking the milk from her breast. I too followed her gaze and rested it on our baby. She had the most gorgeous blue eyes, taking after both of us but the luster in them could only be credited to her mom. He had a beautiful set of brunette hair, framing his gentle face. Both of them looked so breath taking that I felt my heart skipped a beat. Nothing could compare to the happiness I am feeling right now-this is what I wanted. The simplicity of it all amazed me.
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
"You are so beautiful." I said, coming from behind her, startling her a bit. But when my hand came in contact with her shoulders, I immediately felt her relax. She looked up to me, the blue depths of her eyes boring into mine.
"Tell me that when I am all dressed up for the nines, not when I am breastfeeding." She said, smirking. I gently bended over, kissing her on her lips softly. As we pulled apart, I slightly grabbed her, making her stand up as I sat down on the vacated rocking chair, bringing her along with me when I sat down. She sat on my lap; both of us watching as little William suck eagerly. Swiftly, I moved her hair aside, kissing her neck. She leaned towards me, a contented smile gracing her face.
"You are beautiful Willie, more so when you are doing this." I whispered in her ear and she just stared at me, her smiling getting bigger. We have been married for two years now, William shortly following after a year. Both of us didn't expect it, but nonetheless, it was a great surprise.
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
William had finally settled on his bed, contented. Both of us looked at him, my hands circling her waist as we leaned onto the bassinet. He is perfect in every sense of the world.
"He is amazing." She said. Touching his stomach lightly followed by a soft kiss on his cheeks. This is the Wilhelmina nobody gets to see. The Wilhelmina that loves to kiss her child to sleep, the Wilhelmina that wakes up at night just to check if he was ok, the Wilhelmina that pretends to hate pancakes but when it's just the two of us, can't wait to dig in, the Wilhelmina that is so domestic, the Wilhelmina that is standing right beside me now, no façade needed.
"I know." I said, looking directly at her. She looked up, our gaze meeting and slowly, we moved closer, our lips eventually touching. It was slow, just like the way she wanted it during this time. We were in no hurry and I finally, after a few seconds, we pulled apart. Gently, I tucked a loose strand that fell onto her face behind her ear. Caressing slightly her cheeks, I added.
"I love you. You do know that right?" I asked. She smiled against me. We both have come a long way, sure, the old Willie would still creep in at times, having a hard time telling me what she feels. But in the vulnerability of the night, I felt her respond.
"I know." She added, kissing me on the cheeks before she pulled me in a hug. "I love you too."
