Why I love you
It’s not the shining
stars that
you use to see the
world around you.
It’s not the pretty
cherries that
you would use if
you wanted to kiss
me.
It’s not the
bouquet of flowers
that rests on
top of your head.
It’s not the
beautiful, warm sun
of yours that shivers
when it’s cold.
It’s the ice cream
that pours
out like lava, so
sweet and rich in
kindness, to make
my heart melt.
