I loved you just as much
As I love to gaze under the stars
and turn them into my own
private constellations

I loved you just as much
As I adore books,
their every page
turning me into what
I want to be

I loved you just as much
As I enjoy the sun on my cheek
As if the burning sensation
made me feel alive

I loved you just as I love
to make words mean more
than what they seem

I loved you.
