an ode to the loveless, these are for you.

the way i love you

i don't know a lot of things.
i haven't been alive long enough to truly say i've been alive.
but i do know this;
i know that i love you like how the moon loves the sun enough to hide during the day so she can shine.
i love you like how blades of grass love to tickle the bottom of our feet when we run because our giggles sound like a gift from the gods.

i love you like how the camera loves Marilyn Monroe, and how she loved it back.
i love you like how bunnies love carrots and small huts they make under gardens.

i love you the way a first time love feels.
i love you the way a baby loves his blanket or binkie.

i love you.
i love you.
i love you.

you make me feel the way the front row of a rollercoaster does.
you make my heart try and climb out of my ribcage just so it can be closer to you.

i would truly do anything to show you this,
but i'm hoping this will do.
