My love is like a glass jar filled to the brim with entire oceans:
Impossible, irrational, and deeper than you could ever imagine until you see it up close. Wading in it is an impossibility. If you go for a swim in my waters, you're sure to drown. But you won't die.

When a writer loves you, she will spend most of her waking poeting hours trying to capture some essence of you: a touch, a smile, the color of your eyes...She'll wrap them in pretty words, similes, and metaphors and hand them to you like pristine Christmas gifts, sparkling and waiting for you to tear in. She hopes a bit of her own passion will seep into you in doing so.

Likewise, when I love, I am willing to give you my world and everything in it, even if that means that I myself and confined to a single shadow in a small isolated corner of it. When I love, those seas seem to expand inside me until my heart feels swollen and ready to burst. When I love, it can feel overwhelming, difficult to wrap your head around. I tend to gush.

My love is like glass oceans: I am fragile but far too stubborn to ever break.
