If you were to tell someone why you loved them, how would you put those thoughts into words?

Why I Love You:

I love your hands.

The way they feel

on my body,

on my face,

the way your fingers lace

with mine.

I love the sound of your laugh

the crinkle of your eyes,

the scrunching of your nose,

the way you sometimes cry,

while doing it.

I love your mind

your thoughts

your words

your actions.

I love the constellation of freckles on your arm,

the scar on your shoulder,

how you received it.

Every tiny hair,

every molecule.

Every memory.

I love you gigantically

I don't know how to emphasize

how much that is

without comparing it to the size

of an elephant,

or the earth,

or the Universe.

Even those aren't big enough.
