Why?


Why do I love you?

I haven't it much thought until you asked...

Maybe it's the way you ignite my soul when you laugh.

Maybe it's because we relate to so much shit.

Maybe it's because your love never quits.

Maybe it's the way your eyes make me quiver.

Maybe it's the way your voice gives me shivers.

Maybe it's the brilliance of your mind,

Or the consciousness of your spirit; that makes you seem divine.

It's all of this and so much more.

All of this in Esra, the girl I adore.
