“what we love, we mention” -marie-helene bertino

every poem has been about you since the day we met

every song lyric scribbled in my coffee-stained journal has recalled your beauty

every note i hum to you while you fall asleep on the other side of the world has remembered you

every conversation comes back to you

my language is you, every word drawing me back to the thought of your smile

for i am enamored in every sense of the word

“she never looked nice. she looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice...it was supposed to make you feel something” -eleanor and park (rainbow rowell)

my love, youre an art form within yourself, regardless of how you compare to anyone else. your eyes are monet’s gardens, your body is michelangelo’s sculpture, your freckles are van gogh’s sunflowers, and your lips are sappho’s poetry; a living, breathing masterpiece whose museum is the world who has the privilege of admiring you.
