Words feel deficient in the ability to convey my love to you. It would take a lexicographer years to define this love in its entirety. You are my vocation and every day I sit at my desk and work. My tasks consist of introspection, recreating your image from memory, and archiving your existence because it is historically significant. Your beauty is like a miracle, as if by god so I may believe. Disorientation and stuttered speech are symptoms of your presence. You are the active ingredient to my relief. I could collect everything you touch as though they’re the finest of treasures. The reception of your embrace made warmth feel like a first encounter. Your casual laughter and voice is a reference to all makers of musical instruments. Your proximity alters my perception of time. I am in a state of mental disorder as normal functions are impaired by uncontrollable and reoccurring thoughts of you. Everything seems an interruption because my attention is for you. Your association with me is a demonstration of humility. You better my behaviour and judgement. Our union is a phenomenon, like the inosculation of two trees. If my words are considered poetry, then I credit you as the author, because it is you who guides me to them. My ambition is to publicise this text, so my feelings for you are renewed with each time it is read. I’ve stapled it onto utility poles throughout the city. I’ve vandalised by pasting large prints onto billboards and buildings. I apologise if I insult you with any praise that lacks the excellence in which you merit. I would plagiarize the greatest verses in history, if it weren’t offensively lazy, because you deserve the likes of ‘A Red, Red Rose’. You are so inspiring, I believe you could make the most unskillful artists rival the old masters. I will continue to practice because you are so undeniable, that if you were captured in the hands of a talented artist, you would live forever. I love you. And if a moment comes that I no longer love you, it will be because I’ve died and my legacy is that I loved you.
