Ode to my Love
I fell in love with you
The small light in your eye that smiles when you’re passionate about something.
How your expression softened towards me and your gentle touch.
I did not fall in love with you because of your looks, your family, nor your money.
I fell in love with the fact that we can just sit for hours and talk with cares dripping off of the windowpane like pouring rain.
The way you smell, how to me-
it smells like home.
The sound of your laugh-
yes even your “ugly” one too.
The way you speak-
How the words roll off of your tongue like flowing champagne.
I did not fall in love with your image but oh how your beauty deepened with unending personality.
I fell in love with your endless, beautiful mind.
Your intelligence amazes me.
The small smart comments-
The sarcastic ones too.
The way you joke even in the darkest of moments-
You always make me smile.
The way you stay strong in your weakest of days
How you speak with nothing wrong-
How you always put others first
Your selflessness-
Your selfishness too
I fell in love with you.
You and everything you bring-
Your flaws, your impurities, your baggage, your good side, your bad side, your good days, bad days, your long nights, our tired fights, our laughs, our screams, your attractive days,sloppy days-
everything about you
Everything to me, everything you are-
I fell in love with you.

This piece came very naturally to me, a person glued themselves in my head and my words spilled on the paper. It is one of my pieces that I am most proud of.
