“Love at last sight, at ever and ever sight”
— Unknown
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
Wait for the person who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the person who brings out the best in you and inspires you to be a better person. Wait for the one who will be your best friend, who you can tell anything to, the only person who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what. The person who makes you smile and laugh like no one else and when they look at you, you know how much they want you and need you. Wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world, even when you are just in sweats and a t-shirt, but appreciates it when you get dressed up for them. And most of all wait for the person who will put you at the center of their universe, because that’s where you belong.
