my laughter is
infectious
contagious
it spreads airbourne
and tickles in your side
you spend some time
with me and find
yourself feeling
happy
optimistic
hopeful
you'll be diagnosed
when you get
warm fuzzy feelings
inside

I'm like a drug
you took it once
and the effects hit
full-force
your eyes see differently
and the days are
somehow
clearer than before
life's worth living
each thought of me
brings renewed
anticipation
and you wonder
how it's possible
not to feel this good

you do things
you never
thought you could
say things you
never thought you would
dream about
a future
you didn't think you had
and stepping up
waiting for the opportunity
to get your next fix
your next chance

you've felt love before
I'm sure
but never did you think
you'd meet a girl like me
I am love personified
so devoted
not just to you
but everything
loving
everyone
but somehow
right now
I'm focused on you

you know you feel this
you're even beginning to admit it
I know it
because
I can see it in the way
you spoke to me
you looked at me
you considered me
like you've never done before

but I am just
a virus
in your bloodstream
making my way into your heart
