001 ╾ You were the first. The first person I wanted to stay for. I’ve always been restless, waiting for the first opportunity I had to get out of wherever I was. I never wanted to stay anywhere. Then you came along and I wanted to settle down with you. I wanted to stay as long as you were here. Home was where ever you are, and if you wanted to stay, that’s where I would be.

002 ╾ First love isn’t the person you liked for the very first time. It’s the person that you cannot completely erase out of your life no matter how much time passes. I didn’t believe it until I met you.

003 ╾ I think I was born half in love with you. From the moment I saw you, I knew it would be you. It was like my heart recognized you from a past life. My soul mate of a thousand lifetimes.

004 ╾ I wish I could turn you into poetry. Something that makes sense written down and makes people feel the same way I do when I look at you. Something that makes it people feel like they’re flying on top of the world and like they’re perfectly grounded at the same time. But the words just can’t seem to be put down on paper and the correct sequence of words just hasn’t been invented yet. For once in my life, I find myself speechless, completely unable to find my words.

005 ╾ I love you. I love you. I love you. I will tear myself to pieces for you. I will give you all of me. I love you in every way possible. I love all of you. I love you to the point that my soul is intertwined with yours. That you are a big piece of my life. You are everything to me. You are oxygen. You are love. You are my sun. You are my stars. You are my moon. You are my universe.

006 ╾ I love you with every beat of my heart.

007 ╾ It hurts so much not to have you by my side, not to be around you, not to be with you. You’re the pain that I won’t give up.

008 ╾ I looked and looked at him, and I knew, as clearly as I know that I will die, that I loved him more than anything I had ever seen or imagined on earth.

009 ╾ I want to remember your face for the rest of my life.

010 ╾ I never had someone to write about, I just wrote what I assumed love would feel like. How I assumed their heart beat would feel, how I assumed I would feel, but I never had anything to compare it to. Until you. Then, everything I ever wrote started making sense some how, like someone had shown me my words in a new light. You’re still the most beautiful person I’ve ever met, and I’ll spend the rest of my days writing until you feel the same.

011 ╾ I never understood how people can say someone is the most anything in the world. The most beautiful person in the world. The most adorable person in the world. The most wonderful person in the world. But then I met you, and suddenly I saw what they were talking about. I saw exactly how they could believe someone was the most beautiful, the most enticing, the most lovely. That person that’s supposed to be able to take your breath away that I just assumed was a myth. Then you came along and suddenly the sky cleared and I saw what everyone else had always been seeing. Suddenly, I saw someone that was absolutely perfect.

012 ╾ Every breath I take, I take for you.

013 ╾ To love is to recognize yourself in another.

014 ╾ I wish I could encase feelings into picture frames. The way I feel around you is something I want to remember forever. I want to put these feelings into a picture frame, forever remembering the memories we share between us. But it’s impossible, so for now I’ll focus on right now, making these feelings last as long as they can.

015 ╾ You are everything good in this world. You make the rain go away.

016 ╾ You are the love in my heart. You are the strength to my breaths. You are the hope in my loneliness. You are the music in my ears. You are the sun in the darkest days. You are the happiness in my eyes. You are everything to me.

017 ╾ I can’t spend a day without you, because the more we are apart, the more I start to feel the emptiness I felt before I found you.

018 ╾ And somehow, suddenly, my words weren’t mine anymore. You became the person that came to my mind whenever I wrote. It wasn’t gradual, like they say it is. I was writing when you came to mind, and suddenly flowers filled the page, your personality was turned into poetry and your smile into art. I can’t remember how it happened, but in a way, I’m glad it did.

019 ╾ I want to make you feel beautiful. I want to make you feel like the stars above can’t outshine your beauty. I want to convince you that you’re perfect in all the ways you think you’re not. And I want to do it because you’re everything that’s wonderful in my eyes. I’ll do it, if you’ll let me.
