Finally the story of our love is auditory
It's extraordinary and exploratory
Our love is mandatory
It's our territory
Our love lights our path and leads us to glory
I love you
I love you so, so much
I could never
Tell you
Enough
I might never fully express it
But I hope these words make it clear that this isn't a bluff
I love you for your past
I love that in 5th grade, when it came time to pick
The president of the class
It was in your favor that all the impromptu votes were unanimously cast
I love you for all the days you spent at the beach as a child
I love how those weeks of kindergarten in the forest made you wild
I love how you've always been a talented artist
I love your hunger for knowledge and your drive to be the smartest
I love how you joined the dance team
And how you dreamt of working in fashion
I love how you played numerous sports
How you studied everything with passion
I love you for that silent first year when you landed in this country
And I love the meaning of your name
You know, that one tree
That evergreen, whose leaves aren't soft but instead don needles
I love pronouncing it, even when
People incorrectly ask if it sounds like eagle
(NO!
It doesn't)
I love you for how you love other people
I love how you teach them to create a world that's peaceful
I love how you share your overflowing heart
No matter the attempts to tear it apart
I love how you compulsively give
And that you finally learned to receive
I love how you mind your business instead of hurting others
Never bite them first, only bite back when you've been smothered
I love how you never feel too proud to apologize
And how you stand up for what you believe is right
And how you stare at your fears directly in their eyes
And how you bring the heat
And how you melt the ice
I love you even when you're lonely and misunderstood
I love you for trying to always be good
I love you for connecting on a heart-to-heart level
I love you when you're put together
Just as much as when you are disheveled
I also I love you
For how you look
About your beauty I could write a book
I love your long toes and your longer feet
I love your ankles, and calves, and your knees
You used to hate your legs, but you learned to embrace their power
I love you for that,
Because you deserve to stand tall
Like a tower
I love your
Mouth and your cheeks and your neck and your chin
I love your
Ears and your nose, and I love your skin
I love your
Forehead and I love your lips
I love your stomach and butt and I love your hips
I love you for all of your private parts
So proud of you for healing those emotions scars
Because I know just how hard
It was for you
To accept them
As they are
I love your shoulders and I love your arms
They used to be weak, but now they are strong
I love your large hands and your fingers so long
And how you use them now to make beautiful songs
I love your
Rib cage, and every bone in your body
And I even love you when
You're feeling groggy, or sloppy, or bloody
I love all of your organs, you perfect creature
You and I both know that every flaw is a feature
I love the perspective through which you see the world
No one looks long enough to notice
But inside blue-ish green borders
There are
Yellow swirls
I love your luscious silky mane, despite how easily it tangles
I love the cascade of strands falling from your head
At every angle
I love the smooth texture, but the price you pay is oil
Which feels so weird on your scalp when it's cold
I love how
The rich caramel color, when exposed to sun
Makes your hair look like it's been dipped in gold
I love how tall you are
Which took you too long to love, too
I love you
For finally learning to give the love you want give to others back to you
I want to shout about how much I love you
Even if it makes other people feel repelled
You deserve this and so much more, Egle
I love you for
I love you for
How you love yourself
Finally the story of our love is auditory
It's extraordinary and exploratory
Our love is mandatory
It's our territory
Our love lights our path and leads us to glory
I love you for
I love you for
I love you for
How you love yourself
