Feb 2014
You are the warmest day in February.
The smell of freshly-made coffee.
You are the strongest embrace
With the gentlest touch.

Your blue-green eyes are my favorite color
Your smile is the supernova of stars
I don't really know what that thing is
That thing that makes me think of you so often

It's somewhere deep within you
And I'm an addict for it
I crave it
Crave you.

Longing for you is the same as
Wanting a cigarette though I'd never smoked before
And there aren't butterflies in my stomach
When I see you

No,
They are large-winged creatures
That fill the entirety of my rib cage
And make me spill thoughts out of my mouth like running water.

You are every analogy I could ever hope to write
Every symbolic thing or place or idea
And they're just meaningless nouns
In your presence

You are all and everything
All at once
Every minute of every day
Every thought I've ever had has been laced with you.
