I kept a map of your heart under
my covers from the very start. I saw
stars burning brighter than bonfires
in the depths of your eyes. Your voice
sounded better than church quires,
humming birds and mermaids in the
middle of the sea. The way you looked
at me the first time we met made the heat
in my body rise. Your name got stuck in
my head. You left me scribbling it down
on paper with my black inked pen. That’s
when I decided to carry you inside my
heart till the very end* ~
