If anyone asked me about love

I’d tell them about you

I’d tell them how it feels to be nurtured and cared for

Without condition

I’d tell them how you look at me with sparkling eyes

A constant smile on your face 

I think if you let me, 

I’d treat you like the sky. 

I’d join up all your insecurities,

Bundle all your flaws

Into a new constellation

And search for it endlessly. 

I know you don't see yourself

The way I see you

And you still argue when I call you beautiful.

But all the things you can't stand 

About yourself

Are all the things i can't 

Go a day without. 

I think if you let me,

I’d build an observatory 

Just to show you 

That all the stars in the universe will never shine brightly as you. 

Loving you was like coming home

You a part of myself 

I never even knew it existed. 

I love you
