You just don't understand what it's like...

I admire you. I love you.

It hurts so intensely to love every stranger that I may never meet on every street that I pass by...

I admire your curly hair...

your intense stare...

your skin, fair...

your darker skin...

your round face...

your hard jawline...

your petite lips...

your innocent expression...

your wavy eyebrows...

your twinkling eyes...

your wrinkly face...

your facial hair pattern...

your relaxed posture...

your youthful appearance...

your strong frame...

your slender gait...

your brown eyes...

your blue-green eyes...

your soft skin...

your rough hands...

your freckles...

your red hair...

your collarbone line...

your eyelashes waving for attention...

your veins, weaving to and fro...

your melodic laugh...

your thoughts, the way they ebb and flow...

I love the diversity all bundled up in you.

I admire you. I love you all... all at ONCE.

    Really enjoyed this! I also love how you expanded on the admiration with the ongoing list of details! Ingenious and simplistic.

  • Fascinating poem… capturing Love’s limitless boundaries✅. “We are fearfully and wonderfully made.” Each of us are worthy of and need love.

    Ahh, now this is love in its rawest, purest form—seeing beauty in every detail, every stranger, every fleeting moment. Brilliantly done! ✨

    The most heartbreaking line of the day; "It hurts so intensely to love every stranger that I may never meet on every street that I pass by..." 🙃💔 This poem says a lot. A lot! Loved it.👏
