Degree

We're so much alike,

you're quite like me,

to a degree.

I move my head

love you from a different angle.

Our fingers lace,

our bodies tangle.

I close my eyes again,

love you in a different light.

You're irresistible still

though a bit out of sight.

I adjust my simple mind,

love you in a different way.

Learning to change

to compromise, everyday.

And if I look just far enough

the details amaze,

I can't ignore the signs

two hearts ablaze.

We're so much alike,

You're quite like me,

to a degree.
