I see you everywhere,

but mostly, I see you in nature.

Every characteristic of yours,
physical or not,
reminds me of every part of nature.

Your voice sounds like ocean waves,

a soothing murmur you hear on a summer night,

that sound that seems to be the only thing that can actually calm you down,

that feeling when you let yourself go,

when you hear nothing but those waves that completely fill your ears.

That's how your voice sounds to me,
a soothing melody, almost hypnotic, that whispers into my ears, calming me down like nothing else.

Your love feels like the wind,
and well,
your hugs do too.

The air filling up my lungs like it's the first breath I ever took,

the wind gently brushing against my arms, giving me some sort of goosebumps;

that soft breeze that's able to relax every muscle in my body, making it release all the tension that was trapped in it.

Your company feels like a forest,
silent and calm.

A forest that may look lonely,

but it actually makes me feel in company like nothing else.

The leaves touching my legs as I explore the woods,
brushing against my skin,
kind of tickling me,
making me slightly giggle.

The leaves touching my legs like your hands touching mine, making me blush and giggle.

Your whole face reminds me of a field full of flowers.

Every flower reminds me of some detail of yours.

Red roses,
for example,
remind me of the redness of your cheeks every time I pinch them;

dandelions remind me of your hair,
long and fluffy,
soft like a pillow.

I could go on like this forever,

but it would lose the meaning I aim for.

With all of these simple words,

I just want you to understand that everything in this world, especially nature, reminds me of you.

But no matter how many things I list,
no matter how many times I'll repeat the same things,

what will forever and fully remind me of you is love.
In every form.

The love I feel for you is like water in a river:

never the same, but always flowing.

The water is never the same, like love;

every day I learn something new about you, and my love expands.
It changes in size, it gets bigger, but it's always there, flowing like water in a river.

flowing like the blood in my veins, transferring my love for you to every part of my body.
