I'm going to uncover you. I'm going to unmask all the things that haunt you. I'm going to unlock your code and when I do, I'll pour out all of your pieces so I can see every last bit of everything you've kept so hidden.*

See my dear, there is a reason why the moon keeps a part of herself hidden from the gazing eyes. There's a reason why some lovers leave certain words unsaid. There are reasons why some mysteries are better left unsolved.

While they seem hauntingly beautiful, what's hidden there is not beautiful at all; it will ruin you for the rest of your life.

I thought people were so naive
As they were saying
"I love you"
In less than a month
So casually, so easily
I thought people were so ridiculous
As they kissed on the street
Parading around
For everyone to see

And yet here you are
All I want to do is kiss you
And in so short of time
I think that I love you

Look at what you made me
Took a serious girl and made her silly

How simple is a kiss
To just touch another with your lips
How powerful it can be
When stolen or fought for and given freely

I walked back into the room
Exhausted
Ready to fall apart
And there you were
Simply cleaning
And all of a sudden it occurred to me
That that is how you love
Little acts of kindness
When I'm ready to break down
Not by loud actions
Or soft touches
Just by doing the little things
That never get done
And you do them
Because you love me
And I wonder how
I ever doubted your love before

You know you're a poet
When dictionaries
And thesauruses
Bring you more comfort
Than people

I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

When I called the visual appeal of your body topography, you laughed. You misunderstood.
The sharp angles, the planes, the curves and the hollows of your body, of your skin stretched thin over bone, these are what I find beautiful. This is the topography of you, the places I want to map with my lips and teeth. The familiar places, my home within a home, my love.
Your body is geometry, trigonometry, mathematics you hate almost as much as the way I can trace your every rib and vertebrae. Perspective translates your flaws into aesthetic beauty, but your perspective is your own and you will never see what I do. I will love you enough for the both of us, darling, love your flaws more than your perfection just to give you what you deserve.

He called and told
me, "I'm so glad you
answered the phone."
and it was nice to
know that there
was someone out
there who was
happy to hear my
voice.

god, you
said something like
"this just makes our story
more interesting" and
up until that moment
I had thought you'd
given up on writing
new chapters with
me.
