This funny story of love. Memories and Emotions.

Love doesn't have a face,

but it sure does have a mouth.

Love is every name and taste,

yes it can taste like mace sometimes.

Love is every shape and color,

including the birthmark on her foot.

Love doesn't have a favorite race or a caller,

it doesn't have a preference or a mother.

It's definitely worth more than any dollar.

 

Love can also kick your ***

it can leave a lump in your throat.

Especially when its not your lover.

Love can make you scream,

it can also help you do stupid things.

Bold and stupid like coke and coffee.

 

Love can really fill you up,

Like a cop with a box of doughnuts.

Love can also leave you empty,

Like a fat kid struck a straw to your heart

and ****** the milkshake out of it.

It can push you to chase the impossible,

Like how the candle has been chasing the sun for so long.

 

Even if she is something you can't live without,

but you have to let go.

 

You're left with photographs to remind you of that

sloppy morning lion's mane she always wore.

 

You're left with the recorded covers she sung in front of you

all out of tune.

 

You're left with the words she spoke to you

stuck in your head.

 

You may even remember the time she forgot your birthday.

Or catch yourself walking for miles with her name in your head.

 

But.

 

You're left with a history of memories, emotions, a funny story and love,

that only you and her know of and no one, not even her, can take them.
