Before I met you
art was just a collection on pictures
I never really understood,
music was just a sound I used
to fill the spaces between conversation,
even my own poetry was just something I did
so I could look back and say I hadn't wasted my life.

But after I met you
everything made sense.

Art isn't just a pretty picture.
It's some poor fool's attempt to capture
a beauty such as yours in paint.
Music comes from when a somebody tried to make real
the sounds we all hear when you walk into the room.
As for my poetry, it is no longer my attempt to prove
I existed but instead my futile attempt to prove to the world
that you are no myth but are actually the most
spectacular woman to ever grace the earth with your existence
