L'AMOUR NE S'EXPLIQUE PAS! C'EST UNE CHOSE COMME
ÇA!

"L’amour ne s’explique pas!
C’est une chose comme ça!"

I love the ABC
of you

the onetwothree
of you

the latitude and longitude
of you

the shadow and light
of you

even the join-the-dots
of you

even the painting-by-numbers
of you

you the cryptic crossword
I can never do

unable to even understand
a clue

couldn't bear to have you
explainecd

to know the whys
and wherefores of you

loving just loving
the je ne sais quoi of you

glad that you
just exist

and that in that
existence you

love me.

C’est une chose comme ça!"
