You make me smile and laugh and roll my eyes in attempt to hide my affection,
Hide my excitement,
Conceal the fact that you make me feel beautiful, brilliant, deserving of attention.
With you, I experience unfamiliar emotions;
Effervescence, comfort, the list goes on.
In the absence of your presence, a sense of nostalgia,
My spirit begins to hunger,
And thirst and crave your company.
Indeed, weeks feels like an eternity,
And a few conversations, a lifetime of understanding,
Because you are kind and you are impressive,
Exquisite and enthralling,
Extremely excessive.
You live and you love,
Travel to explore,
Live beyond my imagination,
With no boundaries, no limitation.
So when you said ‘I love you’,
The core of my existence screamed ‘me too’,
Because thick as my walls were,
You were able to break through.
