Love is not a quick read

With cheap rhymes

Or cliches that

We've heard one

Too many times

And love is not an essay

With shortcuts

And formats to me

It's an offbeat

Kind of rhythm

A Sophisticated prism

Of colors and feelings

And dreams

And I try to understand it

But most times

I don't get what it means

Loving you is poetry

It's not always good times

And roses and champagne

It's hard conversations

On bad days

But knowing the sunshine

Will always come after the rain

It's chaos it's madness

It's magic

And you'll know it

The second you have it

It ain't always perfect

But I'll take it

All bittersweet

Loving you is poetry

Loving you is poetry

But now that we're here

On the same page

I love the cover

And contents the same way

The curves in the cursive

Just paint me

A picture of you you

So I I wanna memorize

Those eyes

I wanna memorize each line

I wanna read you every night

Just to show you

Love is a fancier word

To describe you and me

Loving you is poetry

Loving you is poetry
