To her with love

I have always wanted to love you,

I want to love you in looks and glances with attachment for images,

I want to love you like you own my eyes in any crowd,

I want to love you in your good days and in seasons when your day is too rough for words,

I want to love you in the knowledge of where to kiss when it hurts,

I want to love you in playlists of songs that we sing together,

I want to love you in poems and and in places that are almost as beautiful as your face when you smile,

I want to love you in food and in trying something new just so we can make it ours,

I want to love you in long and short journeys and still enjoy the distance,

I want to love you infinitely a way none of these words would ever encapsulate,

I want to love you in a way that gives your life highlights to always replay,

I want to love you in a way that every heartbeat of mine is a poem written for you,

I want to love you with a permanence that supersedes eternity,

I want love you in a way that the stars will finally be my witness telling you more about me.
