A twsit on Sonnet XVII
I don't love you in that cheesy, candy heart's on valentine's day sort of way
Or with PDA that gets us into trouble
I love you like a nervous hand hold
in the darkened movie theater on a first date
I love you like a pair of used dirty converse
I love you like those levi's i have had since 1996
I love you because it is natural for me to love you
I love you in this way because I don't know how else to love you
it surpasses explanation because of its ease
it is worn and comfortable
and yet it renews
it recreates and redefines itself
to fit our new curves
it surrounds us and encapsulates us
and while it is earthly, it is perfect because it is a perfect representation of all that we are
we are not golden or sparkly
but we are real
there are holes and dirt
and yet even that become beautiful because
In this love, we are combined
we are one soul.
so close that we intertwine
and together, share the night.
